teen living???
YES!!
Believe it or not, home ec departments have been mostly eliminated - cooking, sewing, etc. Gardening too, except on a VERY limited basis. Lots of kids came to school b/c of fun electives, some even found career callings through these classes. No more.
Classes like teen living and marriage and the family are book-based classes — but they still beat trying to teach the new PC-driven/global warming/social justice curriculum that is overtaking math, science and English.
I’m waiting for it to hit the art curriculum, I have a feeling we art teachers are not going to escape.
Thanks for posting this. There are a lot of interesting comments. It’s kind of exciting to watch the tide turn on CCC.
Thanks for the ping!
