ELI5: Why isn't there a "life skills" class offered in highschool to teach kids how to change tires, get credit, and other necessary information to function in the real world?

we had one in high school (not in the US) it included:

* Checkbook balancing - basic financial skills. (loans, debts etc..)
* Cooking.
* Sowing and knitting. (You can't imagine how useful it is to know how to hem or fix something!)
* Basic vegetable gardening.
* Basic electricity. (how to wire a plug etc.)
* Basic car stuff. (change tires/check pressure, check oil, add wiper fluid etc..)

It was awsome!
