WASHINGTON — Recalling fondly her days as a teacher in rural Iowa, NCUA Chairman JoAnn Johnson admits to jumping at the chance to tape an interview last month for the BizKid$ financial literacy TV show to be telecast next spring on the Public Broadcasting System.
"It was really enjoyable to see young people demonstrate their interest in financial education and to witness their enthusiasm," said Johnson, who in a bit of nostalgia remembers how her students in Guthrie Center and Casey, Iowa, "just loved that 'Bill Nye the Science Guy' show."
