You make a great point. IIRC, my shop classes are mostly what triggered my interest in math way back in the day.
Your point just may be instrumental in helping the young men in the future get a more basic knowledge of math that will serve them well beyond shop related activities.
To be honest, I wasn't aware the lack of shop classes was primarily due to budgets. I just assumed it was the big private learning institutions such as DeVry lobbying and applying pressure for their financial gain.
