My Mom started teaching my Sister and I sewing our own clothes when I was in 5th grade and made my first quilt. I didn't like the home ec teacher when I got into High School she new my Mom was teaching me and I always got low grades. When it came to Parent Teacher comfrences my teacher told my Mom to stop teaching me at home....well my Mom did not stand for that and she had words with the princable about it with other parents and she lost her job. She actually did not have a teaching license.
