Remember when teachers taught the three Rs, plus history and home ec?
Oh, and never (that we hear about) raped their students?
I spoke to a woman who works for the school system in the county where I live. I had an interesting conversation with her.
They don’t teach home ec and shop in my county any more and wanna know why? INSURANCE RATES. Yes, the coverage is too much if the kids were to hurt themselves.
Kids would hurt themselves in shop and parents sue. What is worse in home ec the kids would go after each other with knives.
I wanted to teach home ec! I loved home ec in junior high and high and high school. When we were in cooking class it would have never crossed our minds to go after another kid with the knives.
If you can’t private school then home school your kids. I hate what this world has become.
Those were the days, back when children actually received a real education, and not a one way ticket to the unemployment office or prison.
