20+ years ago when I was in high school every freshman had to take a multi-subject course that was worth 1 credit.

It was ~ 4 weeks of each of the following: Wood Shop, Metal Shop, Auto shop and Home economics. You would rotate though them during the course of the semester and they taught you the basics of each like repairs, cooking, sowing ect.

No one gave two shits that girls where in auto shop back then...

sowing

The most important of all, being able to grow your own food.
