> Many schools didn't allow boys to take typing or home ec, nor girls to take shop.

When/where was this? There were most definitely boys in home ec and girls in shop when I was in middle school (late 1970s). And many boys took typing in high school. This was in a conservative midwestern state.



Same for me in the early 80s. All boys and girls took shop, home ec, and typing. And Hunter Safety, as part of phys-ed.


I'm referring to 50s and 60s when my parents / uncle were in school
