They no longer have Home Ec in our school. I guess you don't have to learn how to put a prepared dinner in the microwave. A bunch of ladies I know wanted to start a quilting group and I thought the place to have it would be in the home ec. room at school since there would be tables, chairs and even some sewing machine available to us. What a surprise to find out the didn't have that now. It is call FACS now. They did have a few machine stored in the room, but most of them did work.
We still meet there because it was offered to us and there are tables and chairs, counters, so it works out great.
