"Shop Class" does sound funny, huh? I never thought of that before. Here, in America, Shop Class, is where you learn how to work with wood. Here's something that I made in the 8th grade in Shop Class.

Looks like most people don't like math
Usable math (i.e algebra, simple geometry, etc.) is fun. If you consider that there is a real world use for the equations, then you are simply problem solving. However, scientific maths like physics are almost useless in real life.
My favorite class was choir. I was allowed to sit on the window sill looking out longing for school to be over.
Classes that are strictly limited for girls/women to help them spend men's money! LOL

Ah, cheers. Thanks, sister. It's still a strange name for a class that works with wood. I can't remember what was called when I was in high school. Either Wood Work Class or Wood Technology Class. That's another subject I didn't like. I had no problem with working with wood, but I hated, hated, hated using the highly dangerous machines to cut or sand the wood. Most of the time I preferred to use hand tools and my creations were lacking. I was just afraid of everything in that class. Too much danger.

wow, did you guys make things like that in school?
We called those classes "Sløyd". The most fancy thing I made was a bird feeder with partial walls
which reminds me, what do you call lafteverk in English?(The the technique normally used in log cabins where you make a notch in the wood and sort of fit it together)

Shakespeare' You either love him or hate him there is no middle ground. How come you never meet a Dane called Hamlet?
I think they stopped making log cabins in America sometime during the 1800's, except maybe the Amish.

They probably don't make many of them nowdays here either. The "cabins" now are more expensive than a normal persons house

I'm not sure, Tanakh. I've heard it's one of his better works. Of course, that still doesn't guarantee I would enjoy it.

Shop classes were those classes designed for us students that were not "smart" enough or rich enough to go to collage.
My school offered four years of "shop" where we learned the basics in several areas.
After four years, we knew how to design and build a house, i.e. electrial, plumbing, foundations, construction.
We also could repair cars, tractors, etc. Basicly we could build or "fix" almost everything.
We are the guys that get our hands dirty, We are the guys that, when we come home from a days work, our wife makes us change clothes and shower on the back porch before we come into the house.
