according to my daughter who lives in NE Maryland both boys and girls get terms for sewing at least (they usually make a pair of shorts). She didn't know about shop for my DGD so I "suggested" she might demand shop if she has any interest. In my time back in the mid sixties girls had home-ec, boys had shop no exceptions. I'm glad to see anything in the school that will teach life skills. It's pitiful how many can't make change without a cash register.
