- Broken_Hippo 10y agoI've always viewed that as an excuse not to teach it in school, and I've never quite understood. Same with personal finance. How are you supposed to learn something from your parents if the parents do not cook or are not responsible with their money or refuse to share financials with the child? We know some kids are in that situation and teaching such things is a preventative measure.
- logfromblammo 10y agoI can't say how much I learned in the class, but I was taught cooking in a US public school, which included etiquette, dishwashing, and table service. That class was one semester, and it was paired with another one-semester class that taught silkscreening, drafting, welding, wood joinery, and aluminum casting. This was, I think, in 7th or 8th grade. WTF are they teaching in schools these days if not how to make pancakes correctly and clean as you go?
