If you are in your mid to late 30's (in the USA maybe other places too) then you may be able to relate to this... Everyone invited to add a comment.
Perhaps it was my schooling, and mabye the elective subjects that I didn't choose, but here in the USA is a small list of subjects that the schooling (k through 12) should have elaborated on. Maybe the school system assumed we knew all about these topics (which were semi-current then).
Basic Stock Market (Knowing this could have changed my life long ago).
Elaborated more on Korean and Vietnam wars (I must have fell asleep in class, can't remember anything from school on this).
Martin Luther King and others like him (I think a teacher mentioned his name once).
Real sex education (we had this, but not like today's standards. AIDs wan't around then either).
Psychology (this may not qualify as anything here, but I believe there should be a manditory subject on this at sometime in high school).
Feel free to add to the list. I am sure there is more that I could add, but since I wasn't aware of it, then I missed it.
