Home economics is a thing of the past now that schools are preparing kids for welfare. I was bitching about this at work the other day, those classes were meant to rescue the kids whose parents didn't or couldn't do those things. Many districts eliminated useful classes to focus on their common core statistics, the mission of teaching basic survival skills was lost. My kids cook, bake, and sew and have their academic areas. It shouldn't be either or. We might be losing our edge though, Pete loaned out a sewing machine last week so now we only have two in the house.
