What ….no girls?
They were in cooking class.
No. And even in the 60’s I wanted to take shop and was told that boys take shop, girls take home ec. Period.
we switched part way through the year. Girls did woodworking and boys cooked. Early 60’s. Toronto
This segregation persisted right up to the 70s.
I remember wood shop at Earl Beatty public school. I went there for grades 7 and 8 1958-1960.
In the late 50s Mr Phiney taught wood working at Mount Dennis Public School (off Weston Rd). We would walk there from Harwood Public…..no school busses in those days.
I took Wood Shop & Metals in the ’50s in high school. I loved it and it stood me in good stead all my life!!
Alfie, back then, the girls went to home economics.
