CNN.com – A ‘Mrs.’ degree no longer – Nov 1, 2005

The cookie-baking classes and pop quizzes on laundry essentials that once dominated some home ec courses in junior high have broadened into courses geared toward “life skills,” including tips for budgeting, and basic knowledge of supply and demand.

So know you have to go to college to get some basic knowledge?

Not only that, I find it highly ironic that the average person doesn’t find it unusual that these classes exist, yet at the same time accuse homeschoolers of not living in the “real world”.

Um, yeah. My kids have learned how to manage a houshold effectively by (wait for it…) actually managing and participating in running the household.

No degree required. And they do their own laundry.
