when I was in Jr. high one could enroll in Home Economics in the 7th grade but none of the boys dared to be branded a woose. the next year 2 guys signed up for home economics. later that year those two guys were dating a different class of woman than the rest of us. by the 9th grade, 12 guys had signed up for Home Economics. the point is that true economics begins at home and home economics taught many students how. most of those guys I knew personally who took home ec not only became businessmen and community leaders but also married many of the economically savvy women they classed with.
yup...
