[Tired of Taxes]

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.

Class of '83.....

.....Ditto on cooking, for boys too (one class that I remember), and shop class including at least one class for girls.

I also remember a class that covered balancing your checkbook, banking, doing personal business. Civics was another class...real civics like the arrangement of the State and Federal Governments, separation of powers, duties of each government branch and their histories.

Things must have changed a lot if these types of practical classes are not required.
