 An> We had Autoshop, Woodworking, Home Economics (full kitchens, taught kids

 An> renoun Jazz Band (They got to go to Japan and Monterey Jazz Fests often.)
 An> and a 2000+ seat theater.

My middle school had woodworking & home economics, though I don't remember my high school having those classes.  When I was in 8th grade, they put us in a sort of 'sampler' class where they had us take several different classes for 2-3 weeks at a time so we'd get an idea of what electives we'd want to take, and one of those was a woodworking class..  I had also taken a home economics class, and I remember that class teaching some cooking skills, and I remember having an assignment having to do with sewing..  I don't remember much else from that class.  I still use the cooking skills, of course, though I think I learned a lot more about cooking from my dad, and just learning recipes and practicing cooking on my own.

 An> Today they have NONE of that. What's replaced it? A new football field!
 An> Yeah, because that's what kids need, a one in a billion shot at "making

 An> facilities are still there, they just aren't used.

I find it odd how much focus they put on sports in school, including college..
