I'm a couple years out of high school, yes they still teach those things in math class. I also took a course in economics with a finance savvy teacher but it wasn't required. I think everyone forgets these things, I barely remember most of it myself, but I do remember the key points. Once real life kicks in I can see how many people would forget, and yes I think we should devote way more education time to finance. The other problem with HS is that many kids just don't see it as useful, they have no real life experience and just don't care.
