My crappy public high school had that as a requirement in senior year... well, the balancing the checkbook part anyway. I'm pretty sure a lot of high school teachers don't even know how to do most of those other things you mention. And I'm pretty sure the 3/4 of my class who didn't speak English probably didn't benefit from it as much as I did.
