When I was in middle school, Home Ec was required for the girls and it was about every aspect of home making.
I have no idea if they even teach that class anymore.
Like wood/metal shop, it has joined the choir invisible in American education AFAIK.

We had Home Ec in middle school too (man, I feel old). It was coed -- for some of the guys, it was a way for them to "play chef" and impress the girls with their cooking skills. :) It was a valuable class. I am not sure it is still being taught at that school.
