This module taught me to think a little bit more about where students are getting their culinary information from. As a kid, I got most of my information from watching my mom and grandmother's cook. Students now days watch cooking shows, TikTok trends, instagram chefs but very few of them learn from family now days. Understanding this and the lack of skills that are taught in these shows is huge. This explains a lot as to why my students don't even know how to properly wash their hands, pull hair back, don't understand that you can't touch your face or your clothes before you start cooking, etc. Media has changed a lot of how students view the world and things that they are missing from not being involved in their world.
With this information, I know going into this next school year I need to be very specific with kitchen hygiene. I was really picky with it before, but will now need to find new ways to teach this to students.
