Many of our schools have it as an elective. I was in line at Joann's and a junior high age boy was there with his mom picking up fabric for a book bag. They teach foods, sewing and child care. Now the emphasis is on childcare and cooking which is how it should be.

We also have culinary arts, CNA classes, house building program, fire/police cadets, and a printing/graph arts program.

Our community college is working in coordination with the HS's to set up programming so the students can get double credit

Let's face it rarely does anybody sew a piece of clothing anymore.
