Wake County, NC has gone years ago to a college bound corriculum. I know at least one teen who quit school because of no auto shop class available.

This is true. So many school districts are closing shops.

This is how I picked up a 14" Power Matin bandsaw for cheap.? The Fort Worth ISD was closing the woodshop classes.? This saw came from a middle school.? These classes are vital, not every kid will go to college and shouldn't go to college.

These classes show kids what kind of work is out there, might spark an interest in them and make want to pursue a career in the field or open a business eventually.

Where my son teaches there are two campuses,? East and West Leyden high schools.
He's primarily at East but is chairman of the department at both.
This includes machine shop, wood shop, auto shop and construction!
East has had a machine shop forever,? they just opened a brand new one at West a couple years ago. Very nice!
Manual and CNC. Turning, milling, a little surface grinding and while not really an official part of the curriculum, welding.?
He's got a pretty solid background, used to work with me part time while in HS and full time prior to the air force.?
Now he's an "aircraft metal technician" in the air national guard.?
Classes are pretty full and he comes up with a lot of cool projects to keep up the interest!?
He works with a lot of local shops that will hire a kid tomorrow with his recommendation.?
It's all good.?
