I agree with this - I'm a big advocate of education however I also think a lot more 'practical' stuff like this should be taught, along with teaching people to break out of the 'employee' mindset and showing them that its possible to setup your own businesses etc.
One of the most influential classes for me at school was home economics (cooking) - we had to buy our own ingredients and were taught to cook, I chose to make things which I knew I could sell to other people at school.
I made more from that lesson than I generally did in pocket money each week; that experience encouraged me to branch out and try things in life which I might not have otherwise ... even outside of my career such experiences gave me the bravery to simply 'try new things' which has lead me into many great experiences including my present home here in Florida.
