This is something that should be taught at home, with some follow through in school. Some kids never learn the value of money. When I was growing up, we never had much money, but as I started to get older my parents started having more money, and buying what they want. As a result, my brother and I both learned very poor spending/budgeting habits and have both run into trouble. I think we covered budgeting for half a CALM20 class in grade 11...
The learning needs to start at home!
