My grandfather always goes on about how awesome woodshop class was. How it taught him skills that would fuel a lifelong passion of his.
Of course I didn't have woodshop at my highschool. After all, someone could shoot up a school is a hammer...
Did you have woodshop class?

We have it at the school I teach at.
Unfortunately, most modern students have lost the ability to think critically and solve problems.
Unless the teacher sits there giving explicit step by step instructions for each individual student over and over again, many of them fail the course for not completing projects.

We had had woodshop in middle school. There was also trade courses in high school but only students interested in trades take them. If you're planning on university you take the science and math courses instead

Where I'm from our highschool didn't have woodshop. That's a generalist class we could take in junior highschool. In highschool more complex specialized courses were offered like welding, glassblowing, autotech, manual machining, 3d modeling/cnc and fine finish woodwork. I graduated more than 10 years ago but less than 25, and from talking to people in the intervening years I got the impression that my jr high and highschool experience was not the norm. Especially so when I would tell people about the unsupervised full lab chemistry exercise they had us do 2nd semester of 8th grade.

What's with this influx of low-effort stock-photo slide threads with absolute shit grammar and no proofreading?
Christopher Davis

Dylan Lee
I teach visual art.
I was considering switching over to industrial arts, but it's depressing all around. We have too many kids who get placed in these elective courses who do not want to be there. makes it hard to teach the kids that actually want to be there.
Brody Powell
no but I will cherish the insight and edification at which I arrived in Holocaust class forever. Remember the 6 million periods

You're a nigger, digits confirm.

In middle school i took woodworking, printing class (paper and clothing), mechanical drawing. I did other trades in high school like autocad2000, computer programming classes but the teacher had a stroke so it was doom or duke nukem networking class. But yeah all that stuff was a good time.
