Compulsory Cooking? UFO & Writing Art Education Sciences

I think this is ridiculous. I went to a Boy's school, where cooking was not taught. I know, with hindsight that most of my friends (me included) can cook decent meals, and have a good understanding of healthy eating; these skills weren't gained in the classroom, they were gained through experience, of times when we have needed or wanted to cook. Implementing silly rules forcing schools to teach cooking will mean a lot of expenses for schools such as mine, in terms of building new classrooms, purchasing new equipment, employing new teachers etc. It will also destract time from the more important core subjects.

I don't see the girl's school being forced to teach metalwork!

Cute. I think the only compulsary subjects should be english, math and science. Everything else is really optional.
