31. I think it still should be mandatory, but for the boys too.

I don't think anyone needs to learn knitting, but basic cooking, sewing and household management, balancing checkbooks and other lifstyle skills should be taught at least for two semesters in high school for each child.

Honestly the only cooking I learned was one class in Jr. High, but it saved me when I was out on my own. My high school concentrated on college prep so there were no homemaking classes. I learned sewing, knitting and crocheting from my mother, but she didn't cook either. My dad always hired a cook.
