Maybe if the District actually provided a seven (or eight) period day I would consider it.

You can take Food Science, where nutrition and cooking is taught. (at least at BHS). This takes the place of Home Ec, or a large portion of the place. You can take Life Skills. (at any HS) You can take Consumer Math - which is dedicated all the monetary aspects and their mathematical implications. The point is, most people don't want to take these because it doesn't do anything to spruce their resumes up for college. And most high schools have "shop" though it goes by some other names.<br /><br />Are you complaining because these things aren't "required"? If they were, you'd never get out of high school with an elective.<br /><br />-readerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-26364007627964755602013-10-05T08:38:59.426-07:002013-10-05T08:38:59.426-07:00Here, here Charlie.

I think it is the place the District can make the greatest influence on the improvement of the lives of those it purports to educate -- to provide them with skills and exposure to evidence-based classes in human development, plus basic home management skills.<br /><br />So many families are working so hard to get by and with parents working full-time and often more than that, it isn't really leaving much time to help hand off these skills. It even starts in early childhood, where young children put with alternative caregivers aren't gaining much insight into things like how to do laundry, go grocery shopping, do simple household repairs, etc.<br /><br />This piece talks about a whole host of skills that aren't taught -- things that are basic living tools that enhance our abilities to live full lives. Some might be contentious but I suppose the educational institutions think that if you know how to read and do math that you can learn the rest on your own?<br />http://zenhabits.net/27-skills-your-child-needs-to-know-that-shes-not-getting-in-school/<br /><br />GMGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-35156451582730863822013-10-04T19:31:16.035-07:002013-10-04T19:31:16.035-07:00I'm getting really sick of hearing this: "...I'm getting really sick of hearing this: "<i>Seattle Public Schools is committed to preparing all of our students to graduate ready for college, careers and life.</i>"<br /><br />I can see how the district is working to prepare students for college and career, but not for life. The District does not teach any real life skills like personal finance, nutrition, or childcare.<br /><br />Students all have to take a laboratory science, but how many of them will become chemists? Compare that number to the number of students who will file tax returns, feed themselves, or raise children.<br /><br />When I was in high school I took a class that taught me how a checking account works and how to balance a checkbook. There was a class called home economics that taught students how to cook and sew. I have yet to hear of any school that prepares students for parenthood.<br /><br />Why does the District claim that they are preparing students for life when they don't teach them basic life skills like these?Charlie Mashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17173903762962067277noreply@blogger.com
