Huh, it just occurred to me that when people say "Glad school taught me the Pythagorean theorem but not real life skills like how to do my taxes", they're just forgetting about home ec.

Bold of you to assume schools even have home ec classes anymore.

I'm pretty sure they phased those out in the late 00s to early 10s, at least in the school districts around me.

Home Ec was an elective class for me (that I didn't take) as an alternative to Personal Health, a low-impact PE course with an emphasis on nutrition (that I also didn't take). We did not have any other practical skills classes, like wood shop or automotive whatever. Poverty district.

Yeah Home Ec was an elective for me too, but it did exist.

Or they never even had it offered.

I never had the option of taking something like that I school, but thankfully my family cooked enough that I got rather good at cooking and spicing food. I've actually taught my wife how to do it, and we're in the process of trying to teach our partner how to cook now.

I use the pythagorean theorem a lot more than I expected tbh

It's actually extremely useful for a lot of things, I was just relaying the meme.
