American students learn business skills in school. Here is a story about some American

students who learnt business skills by operating their own banks.

In December 1987，the Twiglet Bank was opened at an Elementary School in Miami,Florida. It is a real bank that accepts money for savings and makes loans, and it is operated by students between 10 and 12 years old. The bank is open for one hour two days a week.Students can put their money into the bank and withdraw it as they wish. Officials from a local bank helped the students start the bank. They trained twenty-three of ther to do all the different kinds of bank jobs, from counting money to guarding the bank. The students needed money to start the bank. They raised more than $ 2,000 by selling 50-dollar shares in the bank to parents, teachers, the local bank workers, and customers.

Organizing and operating the bank has taught the children a lot about the banking business. They have learned about raising and investigating money and how to use computers and other banking equipment. They have also learned how to ask for a job and to be responsible for their jobs.
