Somewhere between the time when I was hand-sewing a pillowcase in my low-tech, middle-school classroom and the arrival of TikTok shorts, public schools nationwide dropped practical courses such as home economics and shop. I’m by no means a master of the domestic arts, but FACS – short for Family and Consumer Sciences (it seems “home economics” had already undergone its rebranding by the time I reached puberty) – is one of the few classes I remember from my years in junior high. Even if these practical, skill-oriented courses haven’t faded away completely, their presence in Denver area schools is definitely on the decline.
