The boomers have gutted the public education system and blame the youth of today for daring to follow in their footsteps at they encouraged.
I don't know what school you went to but my son is a senior in high school and they have all of these classes. He has taken automotive repair two of his four years of high school and knows more about cars than I ever hope to.
