Editing for a bump.
How does one get into this? Is there like a textiles degree then teacher certification? I'm really considering going back to school for this... Does it still exist? Last edited by Numommy; 02-02-2013 at 03:56 PM. |

Re: Are there still home ec teachers in school?
Yes there are, but it isn't called Home ec anymore. It's like Family Technology or something along those lines.

My DD has a class called "food for today". It's pretty much a cooking class. She loves it, they make pretty complicated dishes and learn all about food safety, how to use a knife correctly, etc. It's a great class.
Btw this is in high school.

Re: Are there still home ec teachers in school?
Not in the middle schools in my township. We do have Family and Consumer Science at the high school, though.

Re: Are there still home ec teachers in school?
yes and it is still called home ed here.
However not all the teachers teach only home ec. In the middle school I worked in last year 1 teacher taught all home ec, the other home ec teacher taught mostly grade 7 ela, social, pa. In the other middle school here there are 2 teachers who teach home ec, but neither are full time home ec teachers. The high school has a full time home ec teacher, but they may have other teachers teaching home ec and other classes too. the middle schools have Advanced Home Ec for the grade 9's as an elective.

Re: Are there still home ec teachers in school?
I suppose that depends on what you consider "Home Economics." When I was in school, Home Ec was a semester of sewing and a semester of cooking. At my daughter's high school, they have a whole category of electives called "Family and Consumer Sciences." It includes these classes

Re: Are there still home ec teachers in school?
LOL! I think this should be mandatory at all schools.
