    What is the EC part?

    Pretty sure we still do cooking and “how to operate a kitchen” classes here in northern Europe. In Denmark it’s “hjemkundskab” - basically “skills for homekeeping”

    Finances not so much though, that should be a class on its own

          Not sure what that means—but back in the day, girls took home ec (cooking, sewing, cleaning, etc.) while boys took shop (carpentry, machine repair).

            It was just a hostile joke towards Americans, sorry.

            Yea we have both for everyone, probably the most relevant skills to learn. Build a bird house, learn to cook, and patching up clothes. Real world skills
