By Janelle Stecklein | CNHI News Oklahoma Mar 12, 2021 Mar 12, 2021 OKLAHOMA CITY â House lawmakers have advanced a measure that would allow schools to teach students skills needed to survive and thrive as adults in society. The measure, which advances to the state Senate, proposes creating an âAdulting 101â elective that would be available in every district statewide as early as the 2022-23 school year, said state Rep. Ajay Pittman, D-Oklahoma City. âThis is not necessarily a version of home ec,â she said. âYeah, we may want them to sew a button. Yeah, we want them to know how to prepare a basic meal, or understand nutrition. But we also want them to have some skills that prepare them for life.â
