High schools are looking for educators that have the skills to teach basic cooking, sewing, home care and repair and financial literacy. I wish I could blink my eyes and be 25 years old again. I would love to teach those courses. Take heart, your voice was heard and a change is afoot.
Thanks..... it's so good to hear that times are a changing..... I remember going over to WMU for FHA state conference so many years ago.... Yes, I know the name has changed. So much excitement in those days about doing the life skills contests and watching the changing of young people's lives. It was very rewarding but now I love to work with my granddaughter and great granddaughter..... and they love the lessons with their Nanna
