A Time to scream - then take action

My niece, who has great cooks surrounding her, told me about her experiences in her “home economics” course at school.

My niece, who has great cooks surrounding her, told me about her experiences in her “home economics” course at school. Honestly, I had to stop her conversation because we were eating!

An apple pie dough that has yeast and requires kneading?!? Meatballs that had nothing other than ground beef, S&P, and a little thyme… Tomato sauce that has only tomato paste and water and a few seasonings?!?!!?! Pasta overcooked the first time, and then reheated… I'll grant that the meatballs and sauce could be used if that's all you have or can afford - but shouldn't the teacher be showing the RIGHT way to these children?

As a good aunt, I’ve encouraged my niece to be respectful to her teacher – and let her parents and I deal with the rest. Man, do I want to storm that classroom…

I'm not worried about Ris; she knows right from wrong - in the kitchen and elsewhere. My concern is for the other students who may not have such a strong or interactive home life.

Please, please, please – fight against ignorance every chance that you get. It is everywhere, and can hurt so many. Any topic, any place – dumb is forever, but ignorance can be cured!
