More practical knowledge classes during the school day

Avatar: Official proposal Official proposal

What problem would you like to solve?

Lack of practical education in schools like there used to be decades ago.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

Children should learn Home Economics, Wood Shop, Metal Work, Computer Repair - at least be given the option in their middle and high school years.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Add these classes as electives back to all middle and high schools.

Who would that help?

Youth learning to operate in later life

What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?

Lower East Side and Chinatown
