When I was at school, subjects included metalwork, woodwork, technical drawing.

Are today?s children taught this, or do they just concentrate on Tudor history to the present day?

No technical drawing for me

• woodwork, metalwork, +cooking, +basic sowing, +shooting at the ATC (single shot .22 rifles - well , it was basic shooting and safety training for kids).
