Do you feel that Home Economics is an important class to offer in middle and/or highschool?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I suppose it depends on the teacher and what he/she teaches. When I took it in 8th grade it was a huge waste of time. The teacher ‘taught’ us how to bake cookies and the merits of keeping a clean kitchen. edit: I did enjoy the class quite a bit, actually. The ration of girls to boys was about 4 to 1. Nice way to end your school day :)
