Re: The Importance of Hand Skills in Education

Absolutely! My life-long love of woodworking was launched by a course called Wood Shop in 7th Grade. The desire to be creative with my hands lay dormant for more than 20 years, until I invested in a few woodworking tools and began what became my favorite indoor hobby. Work with your brain... you're a thinker. Work with your hands, you're a craftsman. Work with your brain and your hands together and you can become an artisan. Great work, Mr. Ibanez. Today's young people should know the greater satisfaction of creating a perfect mortise and tenon in the workshop as compared to killing all the baddies in Mortal Kombat.
