Depending on your graduation year you might not've had to take it. I remember hearing about the class but it was added to the curriculum like a year or two after I would've needed it.

I wish there would've even been like just one week of class in some random class in high school that gave me a clue about when to apply for college, how to best prepare for the application, finding scholarships and just all of that stuff. I had to find out everything literally from all of my friends; my immediate family didn't have much experience with it and the only thing the high school did for me was put on a college fair, which was less matter-of-fact about the application and more BS trying to recruit you to go to whatever schools were presenting.

Umm, other than that I think there should be a greater push for classes that prepare you for higher-education, ie making calculus a mandatory requirement for graduation, as well as advanced writing courses that really stress good technique. Those classes exist, but most people slip by without them, and I see a lot of those same people drowning in college.
