DECA Distributive Cooperative Education gave students a chance to experience behind the scene of the business world. The room where the class met was stocked like a grocery store with isles of food. This class gave students a real outlook on the business world from both a dealer ' s and a shopper ' s point of view. Many DECA members felt seeing things from both points of view would help them once they got out of school.
