Do the schools where you live offer Home Ec classes?

I really think there should be Home Ec classes in schools. From what I understand a lot of schools don’t offer it. I had it in Jr. High; I think it was a good time for the class. It was just 9 weeks, but you could take addition cooking or sewing classes as a separate elective. The 9 week course had some cooking, taught you some kitchen basics, sewing basics, doing laundry, safety in the home, and some more. I learned a lot actually, I remember the class pretty clearly.

I ask because I am so very very tired of the cashier and other people who bag groceries in the supermarkets near me putting raw meat in the same bag as cold cuts and produce. A friend said they aren’t trained well. I agree, but really how can people not know raw meat can harbor illness causing bacterias? I just cannot understand.
