Wonderful! I wasn't allowed to take Domestic Science in high school as I was in the college track. Work track meant typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, sewing, cooking, etc. College track was foreign language, sciences, math and literature. My Grandma taught me to sew and in college I earned spending money by taking up hems, sewing buttons and other things for the girls who didn't know how. I taught my daughter to sew and she earned money in college the same way. I think all girls and boys should take what I would call "Living Essentials" and learn simple sewing, cooking, budgeting, child care, and maybe there would be happier marriages
