Shop was gone long before I got to high school. Oh well the haves didn't need men with manual dexterity and the knowledge of how to build things or women as home makers. Nope, they needed a populace that while well educated had no marketable skills and so therefore they could drive wages down and create more or less permanent debt slaves.
