Imagine where kids could go if they were all exposed to things like this instead of just the public school system..

Oh man, I so would have loved to have had something like this in place of the sad shop class we had for a year before it got cancelled due to lack of funding. >.>

Really how, it teaches them real world skills. I wish I had this growing up and not my Dad yelling at me and telling me to hold something.

Ha I put my own self thru that school late in life all on my own. And I had a blast. All you need is a few tools and to give yourself permission. Anyone can do it.

This looks like it would be great for the mind of a child. But if you're a parent and you let your kid go to this, you're a damned idiot.

12 dislikes? HOW AND WHY would you you disapprove of this? I am simply baffled by that. Children need danger and challenges.
