School+Board+Issues

= School Board vs. Cooking and Home Economics =

=== I bet none of you knew that the school district is planning on taking away the cooking and home economics classes. This may not effect many of you right now, but when you are in middle school it WILL effect you. Then you won't get to learn all the techniques and skills to be comfortable in the kitchen, because they took the classes out of Edgewood. This effects me a lot because my mom is a cooking teacher at a New Trier, she has been going to the past few board meetings and fighting for them to keep it in the school. They are thinking about taking it out because Northwood has taken the program out. This will not only put some people out of employment but it will prevent the kids from learning some of the most important things when it comes to life. I would rather have cooking and home ec. than having more technology. Technology is always changing, but we will always need to know how to cook and sew. Now we won't be able to learn these things because all those classes were taken out of the school. I know that some of you agree with me so tell your parents about this, and see what they have to say. Ask them if they could take you to the next school board meeting. Also see if maybe they will help you write a speech and then have them say it for you at the meeting. Just make sure that your voice is heard because you matter to your parents and the school board members. Why can they take critical classes out without hearing what the people (who WILL be going there) have to say? ===

//**As of this last edit the board voted to remove those classes.**//
