We had home ec and shop.
Girls learned how to cook and sew; boys learned how to build and repair things.
One thing no school has had that I'm aware of is household management -- how to open a checking account, budget money, pay bills.

When I was in Junior High, they had shop class & home economics - I took them all. Woodworking, Metalworking & Sheet Metal, Plastics Fabrication, then Home Economics, too (auto shop was High School) - I learned to BALANCE A CHECKBOOK, how to cook & care for a kitchen proper, then I also learned how to sew.

So at age 13, I borrowed $250 from Dad and bought a Singer Industrial Sewing Machine and started making custom mountain gear - soon got orders from EMS. I was asked to build custom backpacks for haulin' in Defibrillators and special gear to treat hypothermia, tents, climbing harnesses, you name it. Had my first manufacturing company at 13 years old.

Then at age 15, I walked into my family mechanic's shop - told the boss I'd clean up his messy, greasy shop spic&span, and he hired me. When he saw how good I cleaned, he apprenticed me as a mechanic - and I was building perfect turbocharged engines by summer.

So grateful.

That's what President & CIC Trump is bringing back.

It was called Civics when I was in school. It also taught how to do taxes, interest rates on credit cards, how they are compounded, writing checks etc.
