I've heard some schools are reintroducing it now, but that doesn't help those that never learned.

Im kind of with you. It's going to come off as arrogant, but in HS and college I feel like learned how to learn new things. I was never taught how to get a mortgage by my parents...nor any financial stuff for that matter. I learned it all myself. I read up on investing, when I went to get a mortgage I read up on that and learned the ins and outs. I learned the basics of retirement planning all on my own...because I grew up in a wealthy area where they could focus on these things due to socio-economic reasons.
On the other hand, other people are not so lucky and these are vital life skills. If we aren't going to be able to teach everyone how to really learn, we should probably be teaching them some of these common and basic life skills.
