Home economics in school? Why?
    #19207318 - 11/30/13 03:54 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Why did you do it? Were you even interested it home-ec? Did you cook good? What about your teacher? Was she young? I only did home-ec because of someone I really liked was in that class and I got to cook with her and she relied on me a lot...asked me for advice :grin:

In MD its a requirement. I mean you should learn how to cook. The rest is pointless. Like sewing and baby raising. Those should be for people interested.

We don't do baby raising in school here? Yes girls in Ireland get pregnant 15-17. Is baby nursing necessary?

Our home ec had sections about taking care of babies and babysitting. We had to take a test to get a babysitting license. Not actually raising your own baby per . And 15-17? Ha. We had this class in 7th grade. So we were like 12

There was a girl in my year who got pregnant at 15 and left school but came back and did exams :shrug:. If you go school here, you'll  find at least one girl who gets pregnant and leaves school.

Home ec taught my ass how to sew and sorry to say but that shit is handy as all fuck.

It also taught me how to put up with and live with a woman. Also it taught me all about puberty in grade six. O and then the half year they required in high school taught us, showed us and drilled every known fact, tale, and lie ever spoken about STDS

Some people where required to do a whole year and for some reason I didn't do any whatsoever but I was the only person I have heard of doing that shit.

I think schools need to incorporate more life skills classes into their curriculum. You know, shit that you'll actually use later in life. Cooking is awesome and sewing is handy and useful. :cookiemonster:

I made a pretty awesome pillow with some cool penguins on it which I still have.  I also invented superpeppersoup which is chicken noodle soup with shitloads of peppercorn mixed in.  Good for clearing sinuses.

Yeah no shit. I learned more useful shit at age 8 by my dad back handing me in the face handing me an axe and making me lug spool, chop throw and stack 8 chords of wood by myself from then until I was 22.

It doesn't sound like much but that alone teaches you vast amount of shit.

It him beating me for whatever reason and making me fix, clean, build, or do for myself every time and for anyone we saw needed help of any kind. That includes strangers that we haven't even said hi to yet.

That courtesy and respect that was forced upon me is naturally now engrained in me and makes everyone now question my intentions because no one does the things I do for no reason what so ever.


A lady at a toll booth list it on me because I offered her a free Gatorade since working people deserve a free drink every now and again. She was convinced I was trying to Poisson her and kill her.

Its sad, isn't it. Kindness, compassion and work ethic are becoming things of the past. Now everyone is too afraid to be nice to someone or accept someone else's kind gestures out of fear that they have some ulterior motive. Because people just can't be nice for no reason. :rolleyes:

My dad talks about how when he was young, his parents would let him and his siblings just disappear for hours in the woods to go play. About how doors were left unlocked with the screen open on hot summer nights. About how he'd always pick up hitch hikers. Some people these days would balk at those ideas. Its sad that society is so fearful these days.

A kid can't even go out and be a kid and play in the dirt or get messy without his mother worrying to death that he will get hurt or sick. People need to be exposed to things, not sheltered. It is good for the immune system.

It was a requirement for us in 7th grade. 1 semester for the boys and the girls got 1 semester of shop class.

  I was way ahead of the game because my Mom was a home economics teacher and I grew up practically in the kitchen on her apron strings. I pitched in on Thanksgiving every year since I was 5 or so, even if it was just grinding up the stuffing ingredients. I've made the family dinners, baked all kinds of things. I used to just pick some thing out of the , to try some thing new. I even know how to use a sewing machine.

  I think it's a damn shame, but I bet half the women under the age of 25 or so can't even boil water, let alone make toast or a fried egg. :breakfast: . . . :peace:

Yw I grew up in a place such as what your dad did.

I used to pull over every time someone was pulled over broken down on the side of the road to either fox their car or give them a ride in the off chance I couldn't get it running.

I do that now and its anyone other than a big guy my size or larger and the people jump in their car lock the doors and get on the phone yelling get away I'm calling the cops.
:facepalm:

Its unreal.

I have hitch hiked form California to NH twice never mind all the other places, and I did it al before I was 22. It was super easy. I did a hitch last year that would be a six hour drive that would normally take 8 hours to hitchand iit took almost 14 hours.

I was required to complete Home Economics in high school and I hated it. My teacher was a nasty, bitter old woman. We sewed, baked things, and learned how to take care of babies.

On a related note, I took a Home-Ec related class my last year of high school called International Foods, and loved it!

And yes EK, my international foods teacher was young (mid twenties) but she was not attractive and i'm fairly certain that she had herpes. :shrug:

I have said it many times before. Kids in high school should have a mandatory finance class that teaches them stuff like "how do credit cards work?" and "How do mortgages work" and everything in between.

I am convinced that it would help resolve the high personal debt average of the nation

I was suspended from school and banned from home ec because I WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND!!! With our group project....

Our group project was to mimick a couple and take care of a stupid doll that was suppose to look like a baby.

White couple... Black plastic baby? I thought sketch from the getgo made a huge scene and tried filing for divorce. Im surprised this was Mrs P's breaking point after the whipped cream can incident and telling this obnoxious bitch she looked like troll on the daily

Hell yeah. I can't remember why, I don't think i actively seeked it out but in 7th grade I had a Home Ec class. It was only cooking, but learning to sew would have been great. As it is now I have a really nice sewing machine from my late granny that neither me or the wife knows how to use. So far we can only break needles and send them flying threw the air :shocked:

Now that dancing section of P.E. was garbage though. I didn't need to learn the mash potato and line dance. :lol:

I also think there should be a class on how to care for your automobile or just some kind of basic mechanical knowledge class or something. And I'm not trying to pick on my own gender here, but too many women either don't know shit about their cars or rely on men to take care of them.

I guess schools assume parents teach their kids all this stuff and they should, but a lot of parents just suck lol.
