School was never like this when I went to school

Please sir, I'd like a lot more homework! Great stuff, Homesteading #101.

More use than RE and Latin too!

Nor when I went. Later in High school we did have some interesting field trips in Ag class; but nothing like that.

Great stuff

This is interesting and rather surprising. They're actually letting children use what could be considered quite dangerous tools, and this is a school project? You wouldn't get that here... Certainly not these days.

They seem like very polite kids, too. Great video.

Edit: Oh I see, they're part of a homesteading community. Very good.

Brilliant.......just brilliant

You should hear him go on about "Safety Sallys" Bam - you know - those awful hand wringing H&S types that think children should never touch tools

His kid is polite and capable, can use power and hand tools - and is just a tacker! Of course the "Safety Sallys" have a fit when they see the polite, skilled, capable, well adjusted child with an axe, saw, gun or driving a tractor!

sounds like parenting bingo.

I didn't quite make "house" on either ticket.

 

[British Red]

Me either - my lass can't drive a tractor!
