There is a press release about high school students' low scores on this
survey of personal finances, but I'm impressed by how well they did.
Unlike beliefs about the economy, at least the modal answer on this
survey is usually right!

habitual newspaper reading. These evils are, chiefly, three: first,
the waste of much time and mental energy in reading unimportant news
and opinions, and premature, untrue, or imperfect accounts of
important matters; second, the awakening of prejudices and the
enkindling of passions through the partisan bias or commercial greed
of newspaper managers; third, the loading of the mind with cheap
literature and the development of an aversion for books and
sustained thought."--Delos Wilcox, "The American Newspaper" (1900)
