I've always thought a basic vehicle maintenence (along with basic personal finance) should be mandatory in high school. I recall having to take a grade 10 (or 9 maybe?) home ec as well as an industrial arts course. The IA class would have been much better served teaching basic vehicle maintenance than using a wood lathe, IMO.
We had these when I was in high school (class of 96). CALM 20 which I believe is still around, and Car Care 10 which was "for the girls". I think that was only a pilot project that didn't last though.
