I took shop for one semester in JR High. Unfortunately, the shop teacher was a pervert who liked to touch little girls. He was caught and subsequently fired but no one had proof so he wasn't charged. He went back to Jackson, Minnesota.

Had I known that we did have an Automotive shop in High school and it wasn't taught by Pervert man i would have taken it.

I didn't take home ec in high school. Just Child Development, which had an equal number of girls and boys in it. :)
