Well, the school curriculum wasn't developed haphazardly; it aimed not only to distract children from sex, smoking, and alcohol for 10 years but also, perhaps, to nurture them as individuals, teach them to analyze their environment, and encourage them to think for themselves, or maybe just to train their memory... Not every child aged 7-10 (and often even 15) is capable of consciously choosing a path for their development and, consequently, what to read to achieve it. That's why parents are at home and teachers are at school: to "guide them on the right path."
However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it would probably have been worth revising this very curriculum in light of the sharp change in the development vectors of now-independent states. I think Dale Carnegie and John Maxwell could help instill respect for oneself as an individual, and who knows, maybe even teach people to respect others. And since we now have capitalism, it would be worth giving future builders of this capitalism at least basic financial literacy (at least so that their salary doesn't run out by the 10th of the month).
