You and your mother are brilliant. Those skills are important, kept you occupied, and yay unicorns! ^^
That school is brilliant. Honestly, since I was in elementary school I always said that we needed Home Ec and Shop and I never understood why my school (and all the districts surrounding) did not have them. It made no sense! No one but me knew how to balance a checkbook by my eighth grade year; I know this, because my Computer Teacher made us follow the weather for a month, the stock market for a month, and then made us "balance a budget" for a month, and no one knew how many bills would need to be paid and how to keep them balanced. (I knew because I was a precocious, worrisome child who made my mother show me how a check and checkbook worked when I was...4. Granted, it was while I was being diagnosed with Diabetes, so she probably did it to distract me from needles and the like, but, yeah.)
Anywho, yes: everyone should have that cycle because it's brilliant and would be even better if it included cars and car maintenance and perhaps Good Manners Class. >.>
