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.

Now you need a computer with $20k software, and hands like an Okinawan woman.

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)
