Back in 1991, my son was in high school and he came home and told me that his school would no longer teach auto shop.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
I contacted the school principal and told him I would be willing to teach an auto repair class in my shop two nights a week for those students interested in learning.
All I wanted was the proper waivers so we wouldn't be held liable for any possible injuries that would exceed our shop liability policy.

The response was "Thank you but we are not interested in your offer".

I must admit I had ulterior motives ( get to spend more time with my kid) but I also thought it was a great way to give back to the community. I pushed it for a few months and gave up.
They haven't had a auto shop class at that high school since 1991.
So sad
