[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else think a "life skills" camp would be highly profitable?[/quote] Even just Home Ec how it used to be. I learned basic cooking skills, how to make a complete meal including a cake for dessert. We sewed stuffed animals and had to make a pair of boxer like shorts, we sewed the buttons on by hand. [/quote] I do wish jr high had a useful home ec/life skills class. It was mostly sewing when I took it in the 80s and apparently that still the case. That seems like such a waste of time. Basic button sewing is useful sure but clothes are so cheap now that sewing is s nice hobby but really isn’t an important life skill. I wish that class covered basic cooking techniques, and some of these other useful household management type tasks. And, yes, I am trying to teach my kids these things at home, but reinforcement would not hurt.[/quote]
