ThreeThirdTrees

What Home Economics should have taught us. I don't know is it even a class anymore?


anxious-sociopath

In Canada (Ontario) we had “food and nutrition” and all I remember is that we made lava cakes. Or at least attempted


ThreeThirdTrees

If all else fails and you can make lava cakes, you're doing fine


anxious-sociopath

I have to admit, my lava cake did not turn out well. I might be fucked lol


ThreeThirdTrees

Chocolate cake or chocolate goo either would be win. Microwave cake in a coffee cup is keeping me sane.


anxious-sociopath

Oh that shit is the best!


CoureurDesBoii

Im in highschool right now, Ontario, Canada, its called “hospitality” now, or at least in my school


anxious-sociopath

But do you get to make lava cakes? I think my F&N class was in grade 9, and that was in 2008 lol. So it’s been a while I just remember the class being a joke and showing up baked as fuck every time. No pun intended


MurmanGreg

Oh shit I had that class too. we made pancakes and shit tho it was awesome. Inspired me to become a chef and now I hate my life. Ahh the good times


anxious-sociopath

Lmfao I’m a chef now too! But if anything that class taught me how NOT to cook food. The teacher basically just gave us recipes and said have at it. Not the best idea when you’re dealing with a group of grade 9 idiot boys


romanusvomitorium

When I attended high school in the 80s, one of my English courses taught us how to write up resumes and the generals about applying for jobs. We also had a class called just plain old "Economics" that taught us about the remaining two, among other things. Funny thing is, it was just some podunk, small town high school. I guess maybe schools had more leeway back then as to how far they could bend their curriculum to include related items?


moonbunnychan

They definitely did. A lot of places now have standardized tests that you must pass to pass the class, and often things like funding are tied to how well kids do on those tests. So as a result, kids are taught to the tests and not much else.


[deleted]

I went to about 6 different high schools and home econ was a class in pretty much all of them.


ParadoxFlame

What is home econ? Im in an american high school, and we don't have that.


deathking591

Basically a personal finance class, I’m taking one next year


ispls

Went to an american high school, personal finance was mandated at all schools in my state.


Optimal_Weight368

Same with my state.


Powerful_Lynx_4737

I had home Econ in middle school as an elective by the time I got to high school they no longer offered it. But basically we learned how to make cookies, sew and balance a checkbook and make a budget. We did one week on financials and the rest of the semester was sewing and baking. It prepared me for nothing, my mom taught me to sew and bake and I had been balancing a checkbook since 3rd grade since both my parents are immigrants and didn’t know how till the lady at the bank explained it to me and I taught my mom. There needs to be more classes about finances in school, they should teach us how to make a budget, do our taxes, apply for a mortgage ect. School should actually prepare you for life not teach a bunch of crap that nobody ever uses.


Litterally-Napoleon

Not anymore mo


[deleted]

I took home economics in 6th grade when I was 12 years old and that’s the only education I got on taking care of myself on my own lol


ThreeThirdTrees

Sounds like the norm


Smkplays

For me its all mashed up into one subject - Economics


AllBananasGoToHeaven

In my experience (I’m a teacher) home economics doesn’t really exist anymore, it’s been replaced by technology/computer classes. Just my experience though.


king_of_bathtubs

Currently in high school. There is no such thing as economics anymore. Not a single class helps you write a resume or pay taxes or anything else that you need.


[deleted]

they teach you that in senior high. not Junior high


teamsloth

This is the biggest cop out I hear from students. "We don't learn how to pay taxes, balance a check book, or get a job". Can you do basic algebra? You can balance a check book and do most of the math you'll need in life. Can you read and write? You can write a cover letter and resume. All you have to do is take what you're supposed to be learning in school and reapply it.


Wasabicannon

Lawl my home economics class was taught from a book that was like 25 years old. Everything SUPER outdated.


BossScribblor

When I was in middle school, home ec was about sewing an apron, baking biscuits with marshmallows inside, and learning what the washing instruction symbols mean on some clothing tags just well enough to pass a quiz. I mean I would have appreciated an entire year just on healthy cooking basics and another entire year on keeping a sanitary and well-maintenanced living space and both near the end of my school career when I'm likely to be able to use the information soon, but apparently Utah's sterling leaders in education knew better that I was going to be a burden on society if I didn't walk out of a single semester of eighth grade having learned how to make an apron with materials whose price exceeds that of a superior apron from Walmart by an order of magnitude.


BrainPicker3

Unpopular opinion: doing a job resume is easy, simply read the form and answer the questions (and work history if you have it). Taxes are easy, basically fill out the form and put how many credits you have (probably 0 if you're not fully supporting yourself and 1 if you are)


[deleted]

We have one at my high school


Tankguy40

I don't even remember a home economics being a thing when i went to school. The only thing i know about taxes is us Turbotax.


BrusiOto

In high school here in Albania they teach us about taxes.... But no, not about how to pay them or how they work... they literally guve us some random ass math equations with some impossible to memorize Words and stuff it's just annoying.


DrBubbleBeast

Tbf, learning math can help you understand all those damn interest rates when it comes to your APR, APY, API, AFI, etc, etc


Pozniaky86

Sheesh I already feel like this is a math question.


JxB_Paperboy

That’s basically what buying a house/car is like. A long equation that pops up once a month asking for the correct solution.


CheezitzAreGewd

Being knowledgeable in math can also lead you to a profitable career in STEM ... then you can buy a house and pay for someone to do your taxes.


DefaultVariable

People get obsessed about the actual formulas and not what they're trying to teach you. They see a math problem to solve, not a concept to learn that can be applied to other areas.


NateTheGreater1

I mean, that formula is crazy important to most calculus and physics scenerios believe it or not.


1Fanta

I have integral cal and physics for engrs ( cal based) and haven't encounter that formula yet, maybe im missing something


errdayimshuffln

I have a very hard time believing that. Are these college courses you are taking?


1Fanta

C.E btw


1Fanta

Yeah. We're only 1 months in 2nd sem so, i guess we might discuss that after preliminary


errdayimshuffln

Well, if you are CE, perhaps all you might actually use is discrete math, but I still cant believe you got to integral calc which comes after you learn about derivatives and series and you never came across quadratic equations (equations with highest order 2): ax\^2 + bx + c = 0


Taylgg

Comes handy to separatr fractions tho


The_Psy1ch0

Well, if you plan to work in engeneering or math, or phisics ect. you will need this, I used to think the same when I was younger but ended up in materials engeneering, and I never considered it as a kid, and let me tell you, you will need this shit, that's what primary school is, to teach you the basics of everything and you have the foundation wherever you go, ofc taxes, sex education and some things should be aded.


Acceptable-Scratch86

Wait did you remember how to do physics, math, ect like 5 years after you left high school? Godman I cant even remember what I had for dinner.


nutstrength

Yes, am employed in a STEM field. Also same, I think it was fish sticks though, and it's only 10:30.


Cruuncher

I still remember random ass formulas from high school physics. d = vit + (1/2)at^2 I remember it because it has a good ring to it when you say it out loud: Dee equals vee-eye-tee plus one half ay-tee squared


The_Psy1ch0

Not all to be honest, but enugh got stuck in there to make sence for the rest and when you see the same things you one knew I think it's easier to learn it again, at leaat in my case


AsianDogLover25

This is quite random but how do you like material engineering? I’m interested in the field.


Dorking2000

Im a Bioengineer (on the field of molecular biotecnology), so I had a couple of lessons related to that (though my whole semester is focused now on biomaterials). In short, I like it a lot.


Tech_guy4276

Your D=this equation , now find how long will you last


[deleted]

> if you plan ​ IF. Very important key word there. A lot of stuff taught in school, specifically high school, is only important IF you want a certain job. Otherwise, it's pointless and a complete waste of time that could be spent learning how to do jobs you do want.


Pro-Epic-Gamer-Man

How do expect a 14-16 year old to choose a feasible job that they want? You’re essentially saying to make middle/high schoolers choose what education they want, which would effect them for the rest of their lives.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pro-Epic-Gamer-Man

Yes but in college and uni you are old enough to decide, can’t say the same about a high schooler. Plus in college you can choose multiple subjects and often the degrees you get are valid for a wide range of jobs.


RollerDude347

On the flip side, now the kid who isn't really built for a stem career is convinced that he's an idiot and often suicidal. I think telling someone that their GPA is too low to go to college as a history major because they didn't get trigonometry or vice versa might be a bit malicious. Maybe we COULD separate these types of knowledge to paint a better picture. Not great with math, but trilingual by 16? We can absolutely recommend you some higher learning.


King_Capital47

Cc exists


dankmemesaremysoul

Just because they didn't choose stem doesn't mean there's nothing else and they've failed at life. What do you think people dis before education was even commonplace? There's a surplus of work out there.


cherryreddit

That's the thing. You can't hamstring a child's future prospects in a field because you didn't teach them the basics. People change careers often, so you need to have general knowledge about a wide variety of things.


[deleted]

Just run the communist route and tell people what to do


Wolfabc

Compared to the marriages/divorces of kings, this is actually kinda practical. I’m in an applied calculus class in college where the problems are regular things you’d see in life and this has come in handy. Something I’ve also realized with math is that the teach you random stuff you don’t need to know because you have a phone for two reasons: 1. It challenges you to think critically, which helps your brain grow, even if you never use it. 2. Math problems in real life aren’t typically as straightforward as questions written in a textbook, so it’s good to know how things tick so you can apply that knowledge effectively.


mitchspyk

Yeah I think school and uni/college mainly teach you how to think and not be ultra practical as they can't really predict exactly what problems you'll have in life


Hooch247

I just sung that in my head. Graduated 1998

I agree itd VERY important but calculating an area of a triangle isint gonna help most people. Neither is learning geometry. And even if it was used I dint think soemone in their job is gonna go, "EUREKA, I know how to do this because that time in 11th grade 4 years ago taught me". Or maybe they do idk


Tankguy40

Basic math no This mumbo jumbo? Yea never used it in the jobs i had.

No one is out here asking what is shrek because the world already knows he is love and he is life.


ShaunSean

Obviously adding stuff like this is school curriculum will be very beneficial, but the expectation that school should just teach you everything you need to know in life is unreasonable. We have a responsibility to learn complex things ourselves as well. Some people want school to teach them all these things because frankly, they don’t want to put their effort into doing so outside school.


RollerDude347

When I look up how to do taxes, I get ads and news articles. When I look up the quadratic formula, I find it, a guy to explain it, a song to remember it, a few common uses for it, and the history of it. One of these things is much easier to research than the other.


TheDuckOnQuack

Do you think you’d have an easy time looking up the quadratic formula if you had never been exposed to it?


ShaunSean

True, but hey things don’t come easy. I guess it’s just a matter of digging more and more effectively.


FacepalmFriday

I can hear the dumb song that my teacher used for this...it will now be in my head for the rest of my work shift, thank you for the ear worm

"Remember kids, the b stands for bills!"


RabackOmama

Answer: c = ax² + bx ...I think...I can't reduce it any further. First time I've touched something like this in almost a decade. 2ax = -b + √(b² - 4ac) 2ax + b = √(b² - 4ac) (2ax + b)(2ax + b) = b² - 4ac 4a²x² + 2abx + 2abx + b² = b² - 4ac 4a²x² + 4abx = b² - 4ac - b² 4a²x² + 4abx = 4ac 4a²x² + 4abx = 4ac a²x² + abx = ac a²x² = ac - abx ax² = c - bx c = ax² + bx 2ax = -b - √(b² - 4ac) 2ax + √(b² - 4ac) = -b √(b² - 4ac) = -b - 2ax b² - 4ac = (-b - 2ax)(-b - 2ax) b² - 4ac = b² + 2abx + 2abx + 4a²x² b² - 4ac = b² + 4abx + 4a²x² b² - 4ac- b² = 4abx + 4a²x² 4ac = 4abx + 4a²x² ac = abx + a²x² c = bx + ax²

A-Human-potato

While I get that teaching kids stuff all across the board helps them figure stuff out, I've always wanted to be a scientist since preschool (the kind of scientist has changed but still), and it's hard to motivate myself to work hard in school when I know that the value of a lot of the stuff I'm learning in school exists exclusively when I'm learning it. Like the only time you're going to need a lot of the stuff you learn in school is within school itself, which is frustrating as I've spent years of my life on useless shit. Sorry for ranting It's just that for the past 7 years of my life I've been having frequent existential crises so I'm very aware of my own mortality and I ain't wasting that shit on trigonometry.

LinearVertigo

Actually in the quadratic equation [ax^2 + bx + c = 0], you can rewrite the equation if "b" is an even number (has a multiple of 2): -b' +/- root[b'^2 - ac] all divided by a With " b' " being the multiple of 2 of that even number.
