Think about it for 5sec

I enjoy building stuff, even when the cost is similar or more. I’m fortune enough to have the skills and means to do so. (Never took a shop class)

The highschool in my home town still has shop class and if you pay for parts they will fix your car. But it takes a week.

I took a shop class for the sole purpose that I needed a 2nd bookshelf for my VHS collection and I didn't have the money to buy one

Our shop had a 3d printer

I wish we had shop in HS.... but I'm handy enough I can build tables and stuff. I really want to learn how to weld though.

What about home economics? I want to learn about how to survive

Its a shame its more then just shop we need. We need to teach self value I guess id call it. I build stuff all the time some things I can buy cheaper some things I can get from the store that are made better but when you build it your self you just have this thing in your hands that you can say ya I build that it may not last as long or be as pretty but that doesn't matter I build it with these hands and this brain. Its like plant a tomato seed I don't care weather the plant has 20 tomatoes or only one your going to feel way better then going and buying 50 tomatoes from the store because you grew it. That's what we need to teach more of.
