I second your views. I took a semester of Home Economics back in the day, because I thought it was going to be an easy class. How hard could cooking be? (Helped at home every night from scratch). I learned a lot from the teach (Mrs. Brown). She taught cuts of meats, where said cuts came from and from what animal. How to use products for multi uses instead of one use (vinegar for example). She went over how to budget for a household and they how to apply that said budget to our daily lives. It was such a great class.
It would be a great thing for our (meaning country) to quit putting down vocational/trade schools. I have heard so many people talk down about trade schools. My hubby is one of the best in the state for wallcovering installation. He is a dying breed. The "union" keeps asking him to teach, but, there are some things you learn on the job, you have to do the work while being taught.
