The teaching of home economics has pretty much gone by the wayside in a lot of places. If you were to resurrect such a course, what sorts of information would you include in it?
I was tempted to post this question in the âEducation and Referenceâ section, but Iâm looking for answers from people who have âbeen thereâ and are aware of the realities that a home economics course should be designed to address.

Answer
I would love to see ( In no particular Order - just as it comes to me) (Except the First 2)
1) BUDGETING & SAVINGS (Balancing a Checkbook, Necessities/Wants, Etc..)
2) Basic Accounting/Financial/Economic Information (Interest-Credit-Etc.)
*These first two should be STRESSING Financial Independence*
3) "Green" Cleaning/Pest Control - Vinegar/Baking Soda/Etc..
4) Basic Sewing - Fixing hems, sewing on buttons
5) Basic Home Fixes - Patching a hole, unclogging a sink/toilet, Etc..
6) Basic Car Maintance - Checking Tire Pressure, Checking Oil, Replacing Wiper Blades
7) Basic Bicycle Maintance (Especially with Gas Prices) - Oiling the chain, checking brakes, tires, proper fit of Bicycle & Helmet
8) Time Management
9) Basic First Aide
10) Basic Organization
11) Basics of Entrepreneurship (starting a business, running a business, etc..)
12) Basics of Personal Safety
13) Balancing Life/Work/Relaxation (Stressing that importance of having some relaxation for the health of themselves and others)
14) The "Art" of Compromise & Basic Communication (Verbal)
That is all I can think of right now.

Bob was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was
really pissed.
She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the
driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE !!"
The next morning he got up early and left for work. When his wife woke
up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box
gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.
Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, brought
the box back in the house.
She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.
Bob has been missing since Friday.
