Who is the Guaranteeing Debt poster for?
Guaranteeing Debt belongs to the Money section rather than to a school year, because money is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning credit & debt can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Guaranteeing Debt poster?
Joint and several liability means you can be pursued for the whole amount, not your share. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Guaranteeing Debt belongs on the wall where that money work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
