11 Surprising Lessons Found In A 1960s Home Economics Textbook

11 Surprising Lessons Found In A 1960s Home Economics Textbook

Home economics classes have actually seriously progressed throughout the years considering that they initially ended up being a typical part of the high school curriculum.

By the time I was a senior, basically, all the lessons listed below would have been chuckled from the class. Sure, we had classes that taught us the essentials of sewing as well as some household preparation. That stated I can absolutely say I was never ever taught anything like the seriously doubtful budgeting “idea” in # 6. In truth, I’m quite sure the majority of my instructors would have recommended the opposite.
