My middle school had woodworking & home economics, though I don't remember my hi
gh 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 week
s 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 assig
nment 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 ab
out cooking from my dad, and just learning recipes and practicing cooking on my
own.

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