I'm glad you guys brought up welding-When my son was in high school I told him to take shop class,as the skills he would learn would come in handy for the rest of his life,to make a long story short,not only didn't they teach them much on parents night I asked his teacher where the welder was,or at least the tanks for brazing-because that's where I learned to do both,and this guys said "we don't do that anymore,we teach them how to remove and replace the parts that are broken"- I ask you guys ,isnt that a crock? Really p*ssed me off these are the teachers of today.
