I believe high school students could learn this as well, before they began to get credit card offers once they are in college. There should be room in any high school's requirements to add a financial literacy course even if it's just a semester long.

and the earlier (freshman year) the better. In high school, there are unfortunately too many chances a teacher will offend some PARENTS who are in the very "businesses" that are the subject of the warnings in the course. Then the school board gets an ear full and the teacher gets in trouble.

THIS and lobbying from various industries, in my opinion, is WHY we don't already have good courses in high school or even grade school.
