I did home economic and I recall that we had to bring in our own ingredients, which sometimes was quite costly. Some students skipped home economics class the day we were cooking because they could not afford the ingredients. I assume that is still an issue today. How is that addressed? Does every school provide ingredients or do students still have to bring in their own ingredients?
