I went to high school in the late 60s early 70s. I enjoyed all my votech classes, and even though I knew I was going to college....I'm glad I took classes in metal working, carpentry and auto shop, and saw there was an opportunity for my class mates, who weren't going to follow an academic path, to learn valuable skills. Years later I saw that Votech was being dismantled and knew a generation of students would not have the opportunity to learn a trade. I still, to this day, curse those decision makers for robbing millions of students from learning a life skill. A paux on their houses.
