(CNN) I will never forget the first day of "sex ed" at my public elementary school. My parents opted me out. By then, most of America had accepted that public schools would -- and should -- teach children about the birds and bees. While sexual education is mainstream in K-12 schools, financial education is not. The result is that the U.S. ranks 14th -- behind Israel, Canada, Australia, Singapore and much of Europe -- in financial literacy.
