What is it with Home Ec teachers??? I suffered a similar fate. I had to
take Home Ec as I was female, shop was strictly for the boys. I had been
cooking and sewing for years before hand.
I managed to fail all three years, the teacher thought I was taking my
sewing projects home for my mother to do...she thought there was no way a 12
year old could sew, so well.
I managed to get past this setback though...thank God the credits didn't
have any effect on me graduating, and went on to take Costume Studies in
University and have made a career for myself!
I often wish there could be a reunion though, so I could go back and tell
her what I had accomplished!

An insolent reply from a polite person is a bad sign.

Yeah. I'd been sewing for several years when I took Home Ec. My teacher
measured me and measured the pattern and said that I wore a 14. I told
her that, no, I wore a 10. But she was the teacher, and (of course) she
prevailed. I made the dress. We could both fit in it .....
