What are you talking about?
At my school ( I graduated 10 years ago) we had cooking and home economics classes.
You either chose that or a technical class.

    The schools in my area don't offer it anymore or technical classes. It's just the core subjects essentially. I'll admit surprise to hearing a school still does in the past ten years.

    School in Germany.
    I'd link the curriculum but I don't like to dox myself. So I can't even quote it (reverse text search) :p

    But they have the following classes:
    AES (Alltagskultur, Ernährung und Soziales) (meaning common culture like sociatal culture, Nutrition and society in general), Technik (Eletrical, mechanical, working with wood and metal and IT) and French.
    Everything is taught from 6th to 10th grade.

    In AES they learn sewing, nutrition, cooking, how to buy groceries (what to look for etc.).
    So everything you'd need to survive. Or if you'd want to be derogotory: Everything you'd need to know as the house wife (lol)

    Thing is: AES is usually chosen by girls, Technik by boys and french by everyone else (no real numbers). There is rarely overlap.
    Even the example pictures are almost exclusively of one (biological) gender (And I'd say the school is very progressive in it's culture!)

    In hindsight I would probably prefer choosing this class or a mix of both.

    Ahh, that's a difference, I'm talking about the USA. They took out a lot of those classes for more of the core curriculum.
