How many of you took Home Ec classes in middle and high school? I always took it, from 7th through my senior class for two reasons: It was an easy "A" -- Mom had already taught me to cook and sew, and in my high school years, when they taught pregnancy, childbirth, and early childhood classes, I had an infant/toddler sister whose care I was partially responsible, and I'd gone through Mom's pregnancies. I never skipped class (lived too isolated to skip classes, no place else to go). But it was a breeze; like an hour off from school work.
The second reason was that when I was in high school in California, all the shop and home ec classes, along with the FFA and FHA, to to go to Cal Poly for their annual festival. It was great fun.
Ironically, I'll sometimes come up with some obscure fact about health, nutrition, babies (I have no kids, myself), cooking, sewing, etc and my husband and/or a friend will ask me how in the heck do I know that? Hmmm. Now that I think about it, probably in home ec.
