Great move.
It's always been one of my pet peeves that basic personal finance classes weren't taught more in schools. Some of the biggest financial decisions in a person's life comes right as high-school is ending. Not everybody is going to become rich, but at least give people the tools they need to maximize their gifts. The system feels intentionally designed to leave them ignorant, allow them to make dumb decisions, and extract wealth from kids for decades from that.
Also, I doubt we'll ever see this as a basic public school requirement, but I'd love to see risk-management explicitly taught as part of that. To me, this guides so much of what smart decision makers do in life and would be wise for everybody to be a little familiar with.
