Three years of "home ec." in high school. Required of all girls. We sewed on treadle Singers and had a fashion show for our moms.
But the fourth year I opted out and took boy's "shop" instead. Fixed carburators, flat tires, etc. That was back in the days when boys took Chemistry and Physics, and girls took Shorthand and Typing. I took all four. Chemistry and Physics were invaluable. Shorthand useless. Typing is sometimes reduced to a couple of fingers on the iPhone or iPad!
