mine had sewing (by hand and with a machine), some basic nutrition, and some basic cooking (how to measure, how to sift, how to clean, and some recipes to follow; no knives sharper than a butterknife)

it was probably one of the best classes i ever had, was in middle school, and it was open for all students but not mandatory

I went to three schools and none of them had anything like that. The closest they got is that one of them had an after school cookery club. Thing is that school already ended at 5.15pm so I never did any clubs.

However, one of the schools I worked in for teacher training had a rad building with several specialised teaching rooms, including a cookery classroom where they made things like pasta from scratch, which doesn't appeal to me but is really cool that they had the option! Don't think they had other home economicy stuff like sewing there though. They did have a hair and beauty class too which was neat although unrelated.
