I loved this class primarily because we got to be creative, also because I think it's just one big social experiment anyway!!!!

Can be useful but isn't for me when I could learn most of that stuff on my own.

Did anyone ever learn anything in Home Ec that that actually used after leaving the classroom? I doubt it.

it was okay in junior high school had cooking and sewing. i was awful at sewing. remember the nine week long project i had to sew a jumpsuit was a disaster by the time i was finished I had a growth spirt and it did not fit. in high school I did not take it. by high school it was considered a real nerdy class{ even though I was a kind of a nerd} and you would have been tortured if you took home ec in high school. by the time my kids got to high school there was no home ec. oh well. an okay experience.I did learn some tips about cooking way back then so thanks Ms. Strom way back in the 70s.

These classes were a little sexist in the seventies but were kind of fun. We did mock marriages and stuff. Pretty funny.

I always enjoyed cooking in home economics, but to be quite honest, I learned mostly from my mother.

Really just a waste of time. You can learn this stuff at home, take a more useful class while you are in school.

I took this course to kill time, honestly. I already knew how to cook. The great thing is, lunch was just before this class, so we got to make lunch.

In the 7th grade we made the best pumpkin pie I'd ever had. Anybody remember the flattened pillsbury pop muffin dough mini-pizzas?

Home economics was no longer a required course when I went to school. I never did take it, but I seem to recall the linger smell of burnt cookies in the hallways. I am not sure what the basic course description is now, there seems to be a lot of interest in younger people to learn cooking skills. Perhaps if along with the cooking and sewing, they had a segment on how to balance a checkbook, financing a car, reading the stock market and a few other basics of day-to-day economics, I might have taken it.

I dont think it should be essential. The topics could easily be covered in Sociology.

Home economics is important for life. Its better than the other subjects where 2 years later you forget it all.

On a practical note, this subject would be a 4 (good to learn but not essential). Personally, this subject was OK. It all depended on the teacher. This subject was a very deceptive subject. When I first thought of home ec, I thought we'd be cooking and eating all of the time. That was far from the truth. 90% of the time, we were doing theory and only 10% of the time did we cook. I had a bit of a strict teacher too which didn't help! Plus you also learn about sowing. The only good thing about that subject was eating your practical assignments!

I took a lot of grief for taking it in high school, but it was worth it. The class was very fun, a easy way to earn credit, and I learned how much I loved cooking in this class. Best elective ever!

Do schools even teach home economics any more? I took it in junior high school about ten years ago and I liked it. All you had to do to pass was show up and at least attempt to do the assigments. (I won't bother mentioning my little cooking fiasco here.)

I thought Home ec was fun. I loved the cooking, budgeting, and childcare units, but I didn't like the sewing and crafts units.

Home Economics where I am is made up of cooking, sewing, and Sex-Ed. Sex Ed is the greatest thing ever, and cooking is fun. Lost credit for horrible sewing. Still good.

Ah, learning to sew and cook. I'm still not exceptionally good at either, but at least I've gotten the basics down from those classes.
