Cooking and nutrition, resume writing and interviewing, health and exercise, and if not balancing a checkbook then surely creating and understanding a budget, are all things I would recommend as part of the curriculum.  Surely these skills are more important than, say, trigonometry, which I was required to take and have never, ever used in my adult life.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8520409295492940122/3386740073683521228/comments/default/1656824649150787350'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8520409295492940122/3386740073683521228/comments/default/1656824649150787350'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://almondbean.blogspot.com/2009/07/what-happened-to-home-ec.html?showComment=1247837121651#c1656824649150787350' title=''/><author><name>Amy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06565873796090854521</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://almondbean.blogspot.com/2009/07/what-happened-to-home-ec.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8520409295492940122.post-3386740073683521228' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8520409295492940122/posts/default/3386740073683521228' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8520409295492940122.post-3933820178836715067</id><published>2009-05-24T18:38:13.838-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-24T18:38:13.838-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Thanks Mari!
