| In England's developing elementary school system domestic subjects teachers had a singular position. Part of a wider domestic subjects movement intent on the professionalisation of traditional domestic skills as a means of raising women's social status, these women assiduously promoted the practical domestic work of cooking and cleaning as part of the school curriculum. The period 1870-1914 saw both the elementary class teacher and the domestic subjects teacher moving towards professional status, but from an examination of their background, their training and their working conditions it can be seen that the struggle for the promoters of domestic skills was unique. Paradoxically they reinforced home-centredness and individual private domestic work from a public position as educators that increasingly required collective, standardised action to promote the movement's aims. | |
