I teach a quilting course in the continuing education program at our local high school. The room I have been assigned to use is the home economics room. From what I can see, there is a lot of attention paid on cooking. The kids also learn about child care. Besides for the machines my students bring in the evenings, I have never seen a sewing machine in the room. Home sewing is a dying art. You will always have people interested and learning, but maybe from relatives and friends, not from our public education system.
