My students LOVE working with their hands, but that is exactly what they are having trouble doing in our current shop situation. Our facility is outdated in the equipment being used for student projects, either students are waiting turns to use tools or the tools are inoperable or unsafe and must be removed from the shop. Shop classes offer students the opportunity to build important life skills. They learn how to use tools and build things with their hands. They let students test their inclinations toward possible careers in engineering, carpentry, or architecture. If done in an academic setting, shop class can work alongside math, science, and history classes to bring context to real work and relevance to what the students study.
