My mother was a home ec teacher. Not while I was growing up, but she taught high school home ec for a few years before I was born, and then again later when I was a senior in high school (yes, she taught at my school and was my actual home ec teacher). But in between all that, when she didn’t have a job outside the home, I got all the benefits of having a home ec teacher for a mother without having to be graded on what I learned. Hence this blog.
