Parents Want Home Economics To Be Taught In Schools Again To Teach Kids Basic Life Skills

 

If you graduated school prior to the year 2000, chances are, you might have taken a home economics or home studies class…if you were a girl that is.There’s no denying how useful it is to learn these principles of domesticity.

Nowadays, the idea of women and men looking after the home and family is more accepted.

But sadly, home economics classes are dying out, and fewer schools are giving their children – girls and boys – the opportunity to learn the basic skills of adulthood.

Many people want to see home ec being re-introduced to schools so that students are still learning the things that they just can’t learn from Mathematics and History.

This is especially the case in today’s busy world, where parents work long hours and many high school kids come home to an empty house after school. They’re expected to cook for themselves and do the basics, like washing and laundry.

But how many of them are taught at school how to do this?

There’s no arguing the fact that home economics can teach kids to be more independent, too.A recent study found that 62.7 percent of the 3.1 million 2020 high school graduates in the US were enrolled in college that year.

Many kids swapping home for a dorm room are having to fend for themselves for the first time.

Cooking nutritious meals, regularly doing the laundry, and maintaining a clean living environment are things they’re more likely to do if they’ve actually been taught how to do them at school.
