...ways in which the Academy lowers the firewall between the classroom and the world beyond it. Students in an economics class put principles into practice with projects in which pairs of students pretend to be married couples living on a budget. "What good is it to teach them about math and economics at school if they still go home and spend $200 on sneakers or $2,000 on a stereo they can't afford with interest payments of 28%?" asks Charles Dershimer, a faculty member.
