Writer's Block: Tolerance 101?

It's not new, but I wish now I'd had the chance to take some sort of personal finance course that taught not only about budgeting, but also about health insurance, retirement plans, and mortgages. Chances are I wouldn't have taken it if I'd had the choice though. :-P
What I think would be more useful, would be a course on being an informed citizen of the world (not necessarily a citizen of the US), and a course on how to be a good parent.
One course I myself got a lot out of in HS was sex ed. Everything from how to put on a condom, to comparing the benefits and drawbacks of different forms of birth control, to identifying different STDs from the color of the secretions.
