I think it would have been a good idea for both girls and boys to always learn both.

I married a much younger man, and he got Home Ec. AND Shop (which combination they didn't offer to both sexes in my day ) and he appreciated and learned a lot from both.

(But he dropped out of Boy Scouts, because it became too 'femme' for him.)
