THE REMOVAL OF HOME ECONOMICS

[bdt_progress_bar text=”” percent=”75″ duration=”1.5″ delay=”0.3″ bar_color=”secondary” css_animation=”right-to-left”]

Thirty years ago, home economics programs such as sewing, cooking and shop classes were a standard part of the education system. Today, most home economics programs have been removed from schools and our society is failing to pass these skills on to the children. Research has shown that practical skills such as patience, problem solving and delayed instant gratification can be learned in experience based educational programs such as sewing classes.

There is no “one size fits all” method to education! As the use of technology continues to increase throughout the education system, the value of trades decrease. At the Creativity Shell, we believe that teaching our children the trades we know and use today will help them continue to thrive as a generation of makers instead of a generation of buyers.
