Home Economics is very important in a girls education. There is nothing wrong with learning rambams, rashis, ba’al haturims, and all the other mefarshim. However, from personal experience, as someone who had zero experience in the kitchen before i got married and just about zero home economics in school, I would’ve appreciated learning baking/cooking basics. Or quick and easy recipes for the many of us working women who have very little time to put up a big hot supper (as opposed to macaroni, eggs, sandwiches, etc…). Or not just cooking/baking, what about laundry tips?
I think its a great idea to give some sort of psychology lesson in how to deal with kids, how to be a good wife, good mother…
Not everyone is cut out to be a chef, but we all eventually have to use this skill. As opposed to many other subjects that will never again be thought about once the test has been handed in.
