And so that's part of the problem that came from doing away with home ec.

I was wondering what the cause was of that disconnect.

Yeah, so is that as simple as that?

You just don't want to make your kid unhappy?

But that's what I'm saying.

And I'm not asking you to just speak for yourself, but speak for parents today.

You should buy her a straw hat and some overalls for Christmas and be like, this is the year you get started.

So one of the other things you might be saying is, like, there's an app for everything.

Like, if you can't cook, it doesn't matter.

DoorDash.

or somebody's going to make food for you and will bring it to you, you just have to give them money.

And it's that you just have to give them money thing that's kind of a problem right now because wages haven't kept up and debt has just continued to increase.

In the second quarter of 2025, America had $1.21 trillion of credit card debt.

The average American had almost $6,500 of credit card debt on their card at the time.

So it's not like there's just some easy solution.

Like maybe there will be as stuff like that becomes cheaper.

But right now, there's just a whole grab bag of problems that you can trace back to if not coming from home ec not being taught.

Home ec being taught could have solved them or could solve or prevent them in the future.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm really glad you said that because this could so easily slide into, well, when we were in school, we learned all this stuff and look at how great we turned out.
