To Prepare Kids for the Future, Bring Back Shop and Home Ec

"Home ec and shop skills especially make sense in light of current environmental and health challenges. For kids who wear fast fashion but care about climate and overconsumption, it’s worth knowing how to darn a sock or patch a hole. Likewise, in a country with skyrocketing obesity and high consumption of processed foods, learning how to make healthy, inexpensive meals is important."

@corlin Absolutely! The high school I went to didn't have Shop classes or Home Ec classes. I don't know why my alma mater didn't have clases like that. What a shame.
