Bring Back Home Economics! (Page 2)

[beccaboo2]

My middle school had a home ec class that taught you how to cook, sew, create a resume, and apply for jobs. They got rid of it by the time I made it to 8th grade due to budget cuts. That was probably the only class worth having.

Personally I would rather schools teach home economics, and other useful skills like first aid, applying for jobs than silly things like religion. I have no problem with religion per we but it doesn't feed a family.

I had home ec in middle school.
It was actually a lot of fun. I remember we had a project to prove that we knew how to do our own laundry 😂 Like who didn't know how to do that! Lol

[rushthesand]

Y'all I would so dig this kind of class. Attempting to learn this stuff all on your own as a stressed out college student isn't working for me :'(

[Hidden_P]

Me and my year group (males and females) had "home economics".

[UnknownReflection]

Amazing Take!
Nothing else to say! just agreed! well said!

every adult should know how to do basic things like at least washing and drying their clothes

[candyaurora]

Oh I can't express how whole heartedly I agree with you.. these are absolutely necessary life skills that should be learned by everyone both male and female.

more people should do maths and science not this shit
we need more successful smarter people
you can learn this from a book, waste of a time and a lesson

Seems stupid and old school. I live in the 21st century

[myTake Owner]

It's not like we stopped eating, and cleaning, and raising children in the 21st century... these things will never go away.

@LoveHorses, its not if you ever have kids or people to take care of. People always push you towards academics but with the decrease in job opportunities, having a skill that can provide a steady income always proves helpful.

[rushthesand]

you still need to cook and take care of yourself in the 21st century. or do you still have mommy do your laundry?

[LoveHorses]

@rushthesand I do my own laundry thank you very much lol
I'm not traditional

[SarahsSummer]

i had home ec and I loved it!!

[Elastephen]

This was my best and favourite subject at school.

[OrionH]

Um at my high school we still do this.

[VictoriousSausage]

considering the Privatized system of Education in the United States, it's not surprising if some schools do and some don't.

[myTake Owner]

which is just it, not many schools these days have these even offered up as electives and on top of that are cutting back everything else that isn't math or science.

agreed. wise oldschool stuff.

I don't see why not. I took it and loved it.
