I think one thing they should teach kids - especially those serving well off areas - is what other people are going through. For instance, I spent some time over the holidays packing food boxes with my sons who are in Boy Scouts at the Salvation Army food bank. Kind of depressing when you are looking at what someone is getting for a holiday meal and you hope you can find a box of cake mix so kids can have something special. In some boxes, only frosting with no cake went into them. It really makes you realize the impact of those food barrels at Safeway.
Also, I'd add a whole lot more on understanding foreign cultures.

So many times I read things on here that I am just LUCKY I learned at some point that I think they should teach you in high school or better yet middle school - that society just assumes you'll learn.
How to balance a bank account, manage debt and credit cards, what co-signing really means, what a credit score is, how important it is and how to protect it, basic civil laws, basic tax laws, interpersonal communication skills, family planning and birth control....
