They could easily teach things like homemaking and parenting in the public schools, if they really considered it important.

As I recall, they stopped offering Home Ec (home economics) back in the '80s. Once upon a time, it was offered.

Class of '82 here, and I remember cooking was a required course. Also, there were sewing classes offered, as well as shop classes like electric and woodworking, etc., and various elective art classes.
