Lets not forget to bring back the Skills Classes....
Home Economics, where they teach Cooking, Cleaning, Ironing, Laundry, Accounting, Sewing, Architectural Design, etc.....
Shop, where they teach Wood working, Welding, Auto Mechanics, Small Engine repair, Metal Working, Leather Working, etc....
Farm Tech, yeah, it's a lost art.... Taking care of Domestic animals, How to grow your own Food, and lots more....
They removed all this from my school in 1981, luckily for my Community, we are a Ranching/Farming community.... We learned all this at home, or while hanging with friends...
But it isn't taught in schools, so you now have to pay to go to a ""Special Academy"" to learn all these things....
I learned them at home, and in school, BEFORE the 8th Grade.....
What's in your Skills Wheel????
You are right! So much useful subjects were taught when I was growing up.
