[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know how to sew on a button, but even if I didn't, and even if I couldn't afford to hire someone to do it for me, I am pretty sure I could figure it out. It's not rocket science. [/quote]

No it's not rocket science, but it does require fine motor skills and a lot of practice to do it well, that is, to look neat and seamless with the clothing.  Then you can rely on muscle memory to do it well and efficiently.  It is best to start teaching at seven or eight, which I really doubt anyone is doing these days given the crush of homework, sports activities, etc that kids have these days.

I am amazed at the number of people saying that it's not the school's job if only because home ec was a mainstay of American education for many decades.  It has been displaced with things like sex ed and driver's ed.  There was a time when people would have been horrified at thought that those things were the school's job, even when they thought teaching basic life skills in home ec and shop were.
