In shop weather it is woodworking, metal, auto, or other the student utilizes the hands. As discussed in other posts on this blog working with the hands allows an aditional avenue to mental development.
Some students may find a career path in shop education. Others may find a hobby that can last a lifetime. Many occupations, avocations, and abilities to relate seemingly diverse bits of information can be enhanced by shop education. When a student has a shop education later shopping for, assembling, or repairing of a large variety of items is conducted with greater understanding and insight about sales and repair people are trying to accomplish and if they are accurate.
In addition to developing additional brain power working in a shop environment helps the student learn about operating machinery, mechanics, utilizing math skills, patience, attentiveness, screening out distractions, control of impulsiveness, acceptance of one on one supervision, and much more.
When a student has one on one supervision during this type of education process the student learns to accept instruction , communicate, safety precautions, and responsibility for the equipment, its operation, cleaning up and the safety of self and others.
