Starting from almost 400 years ago, educators have realized family skills would benefit teens who were going to start families soon after leaving schools in 1658. They tried to bring a Home EC curriculum into school system. At that time, the program specially benefited girls, future housewives, as girls stayed at home longer than boys. Along with social changes, curriculum has been changed to serve both boys and girls, and both high schools and middle schools. What all the educators did have made great contributions to school, community and society. The HC course extends the knowledge of science into the knowledge of real living, so that students from all levels can get fully prepared with real-life skills after they leave school.
