I believe that was the same way i was taught and i know it's how my mother was taught. I suppose it had everything to do with location and the school systems. When i was about 10 or 11 we moved from a large area to a rather rural area and some things aren't as important to some people i suppose. I love it here but unfortunately we are cut off from many things because of education and distance.
In the mean time, i teach my kids all i can about all the "old fashioned" arts that are slipping away. Cooking, canning, sewing, baking, etc. My youngest one is amazed at how i can make sausage gravy for biscuits faster from scratch than i can from a mix. It's an instant world!
Wow, way off topic. I will be quiet now lol
