Sexist Shop Classes in JHS

Posted by Judy on Monday, September 2nd 2024:

In my junior high, boys had shop classes like woodworking, electric, printing, and metalwork. We girls had cooking, sewing, or home-ec. I really wanted to get into print shop and my parents spoke to the "dean" about it and he said it couldn't be done, it was for boys only. How sexist was that? I hope the same is not true today. Or do they even have shop classes like those anymore?
