I had a health class in high school that taught things like sex ed, first aid, we even learned CPR (the teacher was also an EMT). I remember one class where we had to bring in newspapers and we drew scenarios like "you are divorced and have sole custody of your child, you make $X/hr" and we had to basically find an apartment in the paper and see if we could make it work, adding in things like food, utilities, etc. IIRC I wasn't able to get my monthly expenses below what I was hypothetically making...
