And he. is literally paint drying.  I mean, people thought Romney was boring.  

 

I would rather watch a Skinemax movie that was being aired on regular TV with. no nudity or swearing than I would watch. Pence speak.

LOL, you spend 5 years licking the boots of the biggest wantabe dictator America has experienced.  And, now you want yo convince us that YOU will bring the party back to respectability?   Ummm…no thanks. 
 

 

 

 

Is it possible for a person to poll in the negative? Because this clown may pull that off.

Home economics, as in like, the old school home ec?

 

Civics (or a version of it, American Gov, Poly Sci) is mandatory at every district that I know of.  Just not at Montessori where you just play with a box all day.

 

Personal Finance is/has become mandatory in a lot of places. 

 

Old school home economics with some gender neutral updates:  how to cook a meal, how to shop, how to budget, how to buy or rent homes, etc. Pre-Natal and Infant Care could really bring down those teen pregnancies, too. 

 

At Lincoln East in the 70s, you got your classes through a process called Card Pulling. Your random alphabetical grouping was called into a room where each slot in each class had an IBM card. When the cards were gone, the class was full. Our group entered the room to find all our preferred classes were gone. Standing there as a group of guys, we agreed to take Home Ec together, partly as a prank and partly as a protest. We were the first boys the Home Ec teacher had ever taught. It was a good learning experience for everybody.

 

We never had to take civics or government, and I didn't know they'd since become mandatory.

Well, when you were in HS there was no established government yet so it would have been hard to have that class hahaha.

 

Yeah, Home Ec is around still but it takes up huge amounts of space because of the stoves and bake stations, crap like that. I was in one HS recently and they had an amazing home ec room there had to have been 25 work stations, each one looked like a real kitchen.  So you see it less and less.  And you sure would not see budgeting or buying or renting homes.  That is done in personal finance for the most part, which is almost required all over now (In Nebraska)

 

Pre-Natal and infant care is becoming a thing but tied into sort of a health care job placement thing along with a CNA class.  That is starting to get more popular.  

 

I have always said that schools should offer free day care for teachers and let junior and senior students watch the kids as part of a class/credit.  That would keep them from wanting to get pregnant really fast.

Instead of "free" make it very cheap.  Kids would have to keep track of budgets, food, child care, etc.  It would actually be an awesome class!

Thank you!

 

Teachers would totally take advantage of it and it would be beneficial for everyone.

 

I am filled with so many good ideas!  Imagine if I used the mind of mine for good instead of well...nothing.

You're probably correct.  Hell, we can't even have kids work with custodians during detentions anymore.

I’m sure he’s going to dominate in this demographic.
