We had a semester-long required course in high school (usually taken as a freshman) called "Career and Family" which focused on a re-hash of sex ed. and information on the dangers of drug abuse. We also had a semester-long required course in economics which focused more on the stock market and macroeconomics.

Way back in 4th/5th grade we had an hour or so each day for a couple of weeks focused on things like balancing a checkbook, but it was probably a bit too early on to do much good beyond reinforcing the required math skills. Then again, cooking was something I learned a year or two earlier in a summer-school class, so maybe some things do stick at that age.
