Learning to cook encompasses math, sciences-physics, nutrition, planning, cooperation, and collaboration! Besides being a life-long skill, Cooking is fun!
To me another issue is Analy’s failure to enforce its closed campus status teaching, if that’s the right word, these kids that rules can be ignored. I asked the principal about this and got a belated nonsensical response
Such a pleasant bit of news 'midst all the "bad stuff". Kudos to the teachers! Unsung heroes.
But.. back to the real world... Why are we teaching culinary arts in high school when, according to USNews & World Report, in 2024, Analy High School students had a math proficiency of only 31%, a science proficiency of only 40%, a reading proficiency of 53%. Combine that with the survey of Analy students taken several years ago wherein only 25% of students rated Analy positively for college and career readiness, and culinary arts in high school makes me wonder...
And now an easy target for those who want to beat up the messenger... who paid for the Analy Principal's jacket?
And further... From 2022 through 2024, 14% of Analy graduates who applied to the University of California (all campuses) were admitted - 19 of 136 applicants. This is below the state average of 15% for all California High schools. Not good enough!
Correction. 14% of those who applied to UC Berkeley. Other UC campus acceptance rates for Analy grads: UC Davis 36% vs 37% statewide, UC Santa Cruz 64% vs 62% statewide.

Big smiles. Thanks for telling us.
