Importance of Home Ec

Have you ever realized the importance of Home Ec? A subject I mastered and majored in, ( I am a graduate from the School of Home Economics and have a BS degree in Foods and Nutrition from Ohio State University). I would like you to know that Home Ec is very important to study and would encourage you to teach in your Home Schools. Home Economics lays the ground work to running an excellent home and gives you the ground rules to follow to make things come in order and have a smooth operating house.

The "older generations" used to refer to Home Ec as Domestic Engineering. In all reality, Home Economics is more than a guide in how to clean, cook, sew, or do laundry. Home Economics is defined, "management".

Management is a subject that the whole family could benefit from studying, after all "home" involves the whole family and 'management' is needed in every aspect of our lives. God is the best in 'household management' over all. As we look to Him and study Home Economics, we allow Him to teach us how to bring our households into great order and define His Home managements to teach to our children.

God bless you in your home schooling,
Jane
