School is not the same as it was before.  We had Home Economics (teaching
cooking, balancing checkbook, sewing along with other items), we also had
drivers ed (no cost to us) and so many others.

My wife busted up laughing one day as her work pants hem came apart and she was
not happy to have to go to the store and purchase another only to learn I went
and got thread, sewed them right up. :)  First time she learned in the years we
had been together that I had a secret skill. :)  She did learn early that I
could not cook.
