Random Thoughts Thursday part 11

I appreciate that you challenge your readers, and it does make it fun! Home economics would have been a hard sell to me coming along in the 80s, But I would have benefited from learning how to grocery shop and cook properly. I had received an invitation for cotillion classes in seventh grade, I turned it down and that was a shame.

On the plus side I pursued a musical hobby with success learning classical and electric guitar. I was fortunate to have a college music appreciation class that inspired my interest towards classical music which I enjoy still.

Thanks so much for starting the chat in the forum. I like to produce content, but I also like discussing my ideas with others. Theoretically parents should teach a lot of life skills to their children, but in busy modern families, a lot of kids fall behind. As a teacher, I am always trying to teach kids how to make things with their hands just to work more on their planning and fine motor skills.
