Every year my son is scheduled for a shop class? Is this typical around the country?

When I was in school (about 15 years ago) all kids (boys and girls) were scheduled for shop class in one semester and home economics in the other semester. This gave balance to our education; learning about things that may not be part of our social gender experience.

I loved shop class! I learned how to use many woodworking tools I’ve never seen before. I loved learning how to spot weld and making useful things of both wood and metal.(art deco wall sconce, pegged shelf, step stool)

I can only guess the experience for boys was similar in home economics (cooking, sewing, budgeting and recycling)

Is it typical for schools to schedule kids for classes based on gender now? Sorry, but this seems a little @$$ backwards.

Where I am from, boys and girls are scheduled for both classes together.
I don’t think schools can make that determination based on sex. I mean that would really contradict a lot.
