Nope. I got my bachelor’s in home ec/human ecology. The subject disappeared from high schools not long after. The department is no longer at the university I attended. My niece did have a semester of personal finance two years ago in high school. Some of this depends on the school district. Same school recently reinstated FFA.

They do not have business classes in high school either. Used to be with skills taught in high school a person could get a good job. Driver’s ed is taken with private companies, at least here in my area.

In all the years I was teaching, I never saw the new homemaking kitchens being used. “Homemaking” was changed to “Life Skills” except it was all team building rather than meaningful life skills. However, two years ago they started a pro culinary class so maybe those kitchens are now being used (who am I kidding, they were probably demolished and new updated expensive restaurant equipment installed).

We now also have a cert nursing class and a drafting class. We’re rural so have always had FFA but no shop class.
