What the American education system lacks

I believe that upon graduating high school, the average American student should be proficient in these five literacies:

Financial literacy - how to manage one's resources within the restrictions of a given environment (i. e. to be able to identify and avoid predatory business practices or to identify the interconnectedness of global markets.)
Cultural literacy - how to discriminate the meaning behind the manipulation of primary or elemental or symbolic conveyors of meaning (i. e. to be able to identify bias in a news report or to break apart an advertisement to see what is being communicated and whether or not it is valid.)
Statistical literacy - how to determine the real-life relevance and likelihood of a given situation (i. e. to be able to determine the validity of scientific studies and stated causal relationships.)
Physical literacy- how to identify the consistency and universality of a given set of rules or laws or frameworks, and the acknowledgement of entropy (i. e. to be able to determine the sustainability of a community or to determine the viability of a concept)
Interpersonal literacy - how to communicate and interact meaningfully with another agent (i. e. to be able to collaborate with another on a project or to respectfully disagree with a posited opinion.)

These literacies instill capability and provide each student with a framework for evaluating the dizzying world we know live in. It also foments a more informed citizenry capable of protecting itself from those who would use these literacies to manipulate the world. If we are all reading the same languages it is that much more difficult for anyone to be victimized.
