It was!

We had full operating kitchen classes... stoves, refrigerators, sinks.
"Home Ec"...
"Home Economics"

ALL boys had to take Home Ex and ALL girls had to take
"Shop". It helped many to decide their love for career. Either electrician, mechanic, etc., vocational school or university professional as nurse, doctor, etc.

Truly feel sorry for the generations that got the shaft and learned nothing from their parents or weren't taught to figure it out by themselves.

Sewing class, typing class...
metal class, woodworking class, mechanics class, Home Ec, Driver's Ed...

We had desk cars in our class for each of us.
We watched a movie and interactively drove with the film.
Teacher sat behind us with view on her master desk for each of us, watching us making correct driving procedures or making mistakes. It was really cool!

We had those classes too -- learned how to sew, and how to function in the kitchen. Still using those skills many decades later. πŸ’›

They don't even offer Driver's Ed in the school curriculum anymore! We also had a class called Family Living where it taught you to budget, meal planning, how to maintain a checkbook/account,
plan a wedding/reception...all sorts of stuff related to every day adult life!
