Haha I don't know about finance. But I think I'd happily give up cursive if kids were taught Mathematics PROPERLY (not as a set of arbitrary processes and formulae to be learned by rote), and taught critical reasoning with emphasis on the scientific method. With those two skills under your belt, basic financial skills are a cinch to pick up when you need them.
