not anymore, actually not for about 20+ years, they wisdom of our gov, removed them at the time for computer labs,Is this really a thing? Your schools don't offer these trades? Schools in the boonies where I am offer, plumbing, electrical, automotive, metal fab. The residental construction framing class even has a sawmill to mill their own lumber. I could only dream of having an auto shop like my sons high school.
now we would agree, teaching computers in school is a good idea, but not at the expense of other trades,
well now they are talking about putting them back in high schools.
