Thankfully that isn't the case in Newcastle, they have a home ec or home living class, yes some are in it for a passing grade, and there are those kids which have no interest in school, this spring they will me making a quilt for their bed or a lap quilt with the help of a local guild, there are several which are already excited, and hopefully it will touch some of the others when they have completed something made by themselves. Art is also important in the school, this year there is a show just for the students art work, kindergarten thru 12th grade, with prizes and awards. It has finally beginning to come full circle, the acknowlegement that college is not for every child, we need all the different skills.
