There's No Prereq for Home Ec! - Paperback

by Gloria Humphreys (Author)

If you think that home economics is based on the iconic character of June Cleaver who vacuums in high heels and pearls, you are in for some surprises and many laughs; I doubt she ever had trouble with her meringue recipes! Through a mixture of humor and real-life experiences, you may find yourself laughing out loud or quietly wiping away a tear. Whether you are a teacher or not, the stories shared will most likely bring a smile to your face as you recall your own educational journey and those teachers who made a difference in your own life. This quote by Barbara Coloroso pretty much sums up the "why" of my teaching: "If kids come to us from strong, healthy, functioning families, it makes our job easier. If they do not come from strong, healthy, functioning families, it makes our job more important."
