Mine did...back in 1979.
It was Vocational Math. We learned to balance a checkbook, prepare tax documents, how to read and interpret the stock market report and other assorted such things.
In fact...our teacher gave us $100 immaginary dollars to invest. We had to track and chart our stock's performance. I used a significant portion of my $100 to buy Chrysler stock, much to the amusement of my classmates, before the government bailout. Once the government stepped in, the value of my "portfolio" went through the roof. Would but if that $100 had been real.
