Home ec and family living were different.  Shop class filled up early so I
had to take home ec in the 8th grade.  The bulk of our time was learning how
to cook and use the various kitchen appliances otherwise we were learning how
to sew and mend clothing.  there was some acedemic stuff such as nutrition
thrown in, but family living was much more practical for for a high school
senior that was not going the college route.  I took the college bound block
of classes, but heard from friends the teacher covered writing resumes and
filling out applications.  Sounds like simple stuff, but can be intimidating
to someone who has never done it before.
