HOME ECONOMICS Home Econom1cs Revolves Around F emily, Society Recognizing the importance of a family centered society, the homemaking classes of Sherman High School revolved around family life, child development, consumer education, home man- agement, foods and nutrition, and clothing and textiles. While most laboratory classes chose to use eggs in recipes, members of Home and Family Living classes use them to stimu- late parental responsibilities. Students found themselves having to feed, diaper, and to hire egg sitters when leaving them alone. ln Home and Family Living students learned about themselves and their roles as family members. Realizing that today's young people are marrying later, the homemaking classes are also teaching single survival. This acquaints students with knowledge and skills needed to survive on their own.
