I'm not saying there aren't skill centers that are available
for HS kids, but it is nowhere near like it was back in the 60s and 70s.

When I was in High School in the late 1970s, there were several different shop classes - wood shop, metal shop, auto shop. I actually took the auto shop class. The shop was reasonably well outfitted. There were two vehicle lifts, plenty of various hand and power tools, a wheel balancer, and even a scope to look at the ignition system. We learned how to use all of those pieces of equipment safely and correctly.

In the late 2010s, my son was in high school. There were no shop classes at all.
