Ärende: Home Ec was Light's out
===============================
Hi Dave,

Your test came thru; it was the message before this one in my queue.

 SR> now. I have no idea about art classes, but the culinary arts department
 SR> is going like gangbusters.

 RH> I think the Food Network and the younger "stars" on that are
 RH> responsible for an interest in the culinary arts among the younger
 RH> generation. Some of them could be getting tired of the fast foods they
 RH> were raised on. After seeing what else is out there, they are getting
 RH> interested in cooking or eating the better alternatives. Sure a far cry
 RH> from the home ec classes I had to suffer thru. (G)

 DD> I had a good time in Home Ec - as the only "straight" guy. It was
 DD> worth suffering the comments of the uber-macho jocks. Especially when
 DD> I began dating a nice girl who just happened to be the Homecoming
 DD> Queen. Frosted all their flakes.   Bv)=

Was she taking shop class? I did, 2nd semester senior year but used it
for jewelry making. I still have the pieces I made then.


 ->  SR> Private schools here can do that too. Homeschoolers of course are
 ->  SR> another matter. A lot of those kids out-perform the public school
 ->  SR> kids.

 DD> That requires that one of the parents not be employed outside the
 DD> home. Which is pretty rare these days.

It can be done, depends on what kind of a life style you want to live.
Keeping up with the Joneses usually means both parents working; being
content with what you have means one can stay at home. I was a stay at
home mom for all but a couple of years, and then had a job where I was
home when the girls got home from school.  Supper was ready shortly
after Steve got home too.
