Hey, everyone! See the Homework– this is where I would like you to post your questions on Shop Class as Soulcraft (below!)

[Haider Mahmood]

If people lose their jobs to technology what are we supposed to do in order to stop technology from taking more jobs?

[Amani]

If technology is seen as “evil” and leads to the degradation of our work, why do we continue to rely on it when we have other options such as resulting back to shop class?

[Ahsham Nasir]

Why is it that blue collar jobs are not a preference in a world where technology is dominate, but blue collar jobs are the most paid jobs?

[J_Alexander]

Why limit students to just “brain work”? Many of us aren’t even interested in re-reading 12 pg article and yet we are subjected to the “way of the future”. Why not afford students a chance to chose the career path and offer classes to prepare us for that future as opposed to telling us where we need to be?
