This thesis consists of a theoretical part and a research part. The theoretical part will describe the history of household in the past two centuries. The books that students used for the subject of household in primary and secondary schools will be presented. It will be mentioned which are the most important documents when planning the teaching process and what is in them. Household teaching is mostly conducted in a natural environment, so extracurricular teaching will be explained, its tasks and the differences between active and passive learning will be stated. Today, there are no household subjects in schools, but only certain activities related to homework, so the paper lists project teaching. Project teaching will be explained so that teachers can embark on the project of returning household subjects to primary schools. The paper will describe what is achieved by project teaching, what it means for students and will give an example of integrated and project teaching. A school garden can be classified as a household subject. Therefore, the history of school gardens, the educational task of the school garden, its activities will be presented, and an example from practice will be given. Some schools now have certain activities that can be related to the subject of household, so examples of such schools will be given. The research part will present the attitudes of parents about the return of household items and the attitudes of parents about the independence of their children through four hypotheses. After the research, the data in the data analysis program were analyzed. The analysis showed that the vast majority of parents want the household subject to be returned to primary schools, and that girls are more independent than boys in performing tasks suitable for their age.
