Kids woodwork in school?

[wolfracesonic]

I’ve been doing a few simple woodwork projects with my godson recently, as he starts secondary school soon and he said he was looking forward to woodwork classes: which got me thinking what do kids do in woodwork these days, are they allowed any sharp tools, do they only teach theory as using actual timber is arboreal genocide? Made all sorts of st when I was at school, coffee table, dining tray, a fruit bowl on the lathe

"What is this boy? You could ride bare arsed to London on that, get it sharpened"

I mentioned that phrase to my godson a few weeks ago in relation to a saw I had bought on eBay; not one you hear often these days.
