Why we Need Home Economics Schools

Many Jr and High schools are getting rid of their Home Economics classes. Home Ec is one of the most important classes one can take. A lot of schools and educational experts talk about teaching life skills well home economics actually teaches life skills. Its not anti Woman both men and women need what home economics offers.

1. Technology can only teach us so much and I say that as a published ebook writer. I love technology but technology is not all there is.

2. It helps children and teens learn to take care of themselves as well family. Many boys and girls don't receive these important lessons.

3. Home Economics teaches math with measuring, check book writing and more. It takes math skills and gives it real world applications.

4. Home-cooked meal improves health and nutrition when more people learn to cook real food and eat less processed.

5. Some parents can't teach there children how to sew. Sewing can help save money, with clothes repair and even lead to job opportunities for some.

My net friend Crystal Marcos has a new book coming out which you can pre order. Its called Novus (The Cresecren Chronicles Book 1 its a dystopian future YA book http://www.amazon.com/dp/B010OI7UIM/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_KOvNvb0ZBW881

My first dealing with Crystal was when she ordered some of my zazzle art after following me on twitter. I bought her ebook Bellyache because it sounded really interesting and I wanted to read it to me kids. I loved it.

I lift some weights, 4 and 9 pounds are my walking weights. I use a large water storage jug that is over 45 pounds as my lifting weight. I also have a slosh tube. I do not think mixing cardio and large weights which is why I chose the bulky jug over a kettlebell. Its also way cheaper. I you want to start lifting 2 to 5 pounds is a good place to start. Make sure your movements are controlled and your wrists aren't to floppy. If you take a break longer than a couple of days you might want to start at a lighter weight first.
