OK, so I burnt the jello. Gawd! I ate the demerit paper because I thought it was acid. (even if it was a little too big)

My group of four had the pleasure of getting stuck with the freak. She got written up for something and she ATE the demerit or whatever it was called. Then she burnt our jello. Hello? Burnt our jello! What were we making jellow in home ec for anyway? I know that I was very frightened by this chick. She always threatened me. I wonder what happened to her. At any rate, she did not attend my high school, but her brother did.

Does IT-based �management� mean downloading couscous recipes?
Took Home Ec and regretted it.

Gosh, you hated shop? Why? Was it the kids in the class, or the teacher, or you just didn’t like making wooden wall sconces and pencil boxes?

In my home ec class, we cooked in groups of 4. One day, a team member named Blythe was in charge of watching the toffee to make sure it didn’t burn. She failed. All the other teams ate super yummy toffee with chocolate coating the rest of the day, while we had none.

Can you tell I haven’t forgiven her?

Took both. Hated shop. Loved home ec — we cooked all kinds of good stuff. (I wasn’t so keen on sewing.)

Yep, I was able to take home ec in 7th grade, too - my town called 6-8th grade “middle school.” I kind of liked the cooking demos, but not all the rest of it.

Yes, slowly, slowly!! We were able to take shop AND home ec in junior high (7th grade). In 8th grade I think we had to choose which one we wanted to take again.
