Way back in the dark ages, the Boys took "Shop" and the girls took "Home Ec" or "Home Economics".
WAY too practical for today, to be sure, but our "Shop" classes included woodworking, mechanical drawing, auto mechanics, and welding.
ALL of those classes included things I learned that I have used in my life, and have been WAY more valuable than some of the "British Literature" or or other classes.
As far as I know, the girls learned how to bake, prepare meals, sew, and plan home budgets.
Again, WAY too practical for today, and WAY too sexist, I'm sure!
How bout you? Shop class? Home Ec? Learn anything valuable?
