And I recognize that as a time traveller from the future, you will have a perspective on this that I, an immortal from the ancient past, will not yet have seen.
But I will say this: there isn't a teacher on Earth who wouldn't give their right hand for a chance to teach kids Important Life Skills of all kinds. It's what teachers live for. No teacher wakes up in August and thinks "oh boy, I hope we stick to the curriculum even more closely this year!" Teachers live for those moments where their students aren't just more educated, but more wise, as a result of their lessons.
But.
Of course, it doesn't always land that way. I have seen excellent teachers with pedagogic expertise out the wazoo run lessons on household budgets, and their students still can't do it. And those students will grow up to screw their finances up in a debaucherous youth.
It's not like they're not trying, it's just the fundemental challenge of education: kids learn when they're interested in something they care about, and there just aren't a lot of kids who care about household budgeting at that age. Telling them they're going to need and that the country needs them to do well kind of misses the point of what a child IS.
