In High School l actually learned how to operate a Lathe and an Arc welder. I took auto shop and we had two actual lifts. We would do basic tune ups even some minor repairs for faulty. I was lucky to go to HS before the world went insane but even then (late 60’s) there were signs.

That was before the schoolmarms had completely taken over the education sector.

If a schoolmarm can’t do it, it’s not worth teaching the subject.(sarcasm)

It's not the “schoolmarms”. Teachers teach what they’re told to teach.
I've been yelling about this for years. If you want to change your schools, get control of your school boards.
School boards, and to a lesser extent, District Superintendents, determine what your kids are going to hear.
Just takes getting involved.
