Do they still teach anything like what we used to call ‘home economics’ in school?

From a ‘prep’ standpoint, one of the most useful classes I ever took was a combo cooking/sewing class in Jr. High School. (You only need about an hour or two of instruction to be able to sew useful clothing...)

No they don't but I have a lot of material on subjects they used to teach and now are almost forgotten.

Back when I was going to school all girls from grades 8-12 took home-ec. Boys took shop and agriculture.

I was in middle school from 1998 - 2001, and we had to take the full three years of HomeEc, boys included. I’m not sure what it’s like now, though.
