I am in high school and taking woodshop, I truely believe it should be a requirement. Woodshop has taught me so much more than any other class. The things that you learn in woodshop are skills that you will always be able to use in your life.

Whoa, woodshop is not useless. And to be honest, the math involved is very hard so please don't say that you are just using your hands and not your mind.

They did not offer wood shop in my high school to girls.
My husband took it at his high school, it changed his life. He owns his Remodeling and Home Improvement Business. He is a very intelligent man (That for the person whose remarks were uncalled for, I was also a book nerd). He can do math and geometry in his head. Come up with designs that others would not dream of and all because of a high school wood shop. That wood shop has since been eliminated from the High School Program due to budget constraints. Shameful.

Although it's been eons since I was in high school wood shop, I couldn't agree with you more. I believe that wood shop and one auto shop should be required to graduate high school. I've had to teach many people how to change a flat tire because they didn't learn when they had the chance. My girlfriend knows how and if we ever have a daughter, she'll know to.

Yesssss...if one wishes to work with one's hands as opposed to one's mind. I feel the same way about shop as I did phys ed and home ec. It's all bloody useless. Yet I'd stick my nose in a book and catch heck for it from the teachers - aren't they an intelligent bunch?

Don't ask my husband. He cut off 4 fingertips on the electric saw when he took his eyes off what he was doing. Luckily they put them back on. This was probably 30 years ago, he still hates to talk about it. This is true.

Back in the old days, when I went to school it was very sexist. I could not take shop or FFA...cause I was a girl. OOOOOO furious....I was furious -- to no avail.

I loved it, and I'm a chick. It was totally better than home ec. I thought woodshop was the coolest.
