123. I know it's a sad fact of life that not many schools have home ec any more
but there are a few. I always thought it was a shame that things like home ec and shop class were the first to go during cut-backs, these things we use in every day life. How many kids do you know who make a living knowing how to throw a football or baseball, or sink a basketball? The few I know who went to college on sports scholarships were burnt out or injured before they left college. They working the same factory or service sector jobs as the rest of the kids around here.
