"Or life skills", says the people who actively avoided Home Ec.

You guys are getting Home Ec.?? All we got was HTML and Latin... unless you count that carpentry class they offered in middle school where the teacher got in trouble for ogling the girls...

Our shop class teacher creeped on girls too 🤔

Is this what dealing with wood does...

Whoa, that’s very strange. Mine was fired for creeping on girls.

Home ec was completely gutted by the time I got to middle school. Really wasn't very useful for teaching "life skills". Also who thought that should be a middle school class? Budgeting should be a topic for when you actually have some kind of income, and I sure as hell didn't have one in middle school.
