a 'while' ago in high school, a few of us got to take an elective class called 'bus shop'. The bus mechanic was a good guy and if you were a good football or bball player you got to take the class and basically BS for an hour and learn to weld/solder/etc and occasionally have to wash a school bus. There would be two guys every hour/period of school. On welding days, it would be a competition. Each of us would weld a bead, whoever's bead looked the worse would have to clean the shytter. I learned several skills that are still in use to this day. I made several projects that are still in use also.
I'm sure a stop would be put to that class real quick these days. Mucho hijinx, like taking the HOT vise-grips that were used to hold a welding project and innocently tossing them to the freshman student who just walked in, and howling while they squealed.
