We learned personal finance in my public high school here in Australia, there was a dedicated humanities course (which includes wills etc too) but it also got touched on in maths with compound interest, probability, etc, where we used real life examples like gambling. And there were economics and business studies electives if you were into that. It was useful, but I think these sorts of topics really benefit from life experience. When you haven't had to pay many bills yourself, it's hard to know what's important and it's mostly a meaningless jumble. Chances are that most kids forgot most of it by the time they moved out of home. But at least it's always easier to re-learn than to learn.
