My daughter had whatever they call home ec now (consumer science?) last year when she was in sixth grade. They baked cookies.

And that was about all I did in home ec back in the late 80s too. That and sew a stuffed animal dog.

So I don’t know that home ec is actually all that worth it. Not the way it’s been done for decades, anyway.

Industrial arts was the same way. He had us make wooden tulips after telling a bunch of horror stories about how the power tools would maim you, so I refused to use them. And had I used them, I know now as someone who has used them since that cutting tulip pieces out of a piece of wood with a jigsaw is not much of a learning experience.
