Response to #1: Giving a kid an erector set makes him no more fit to become a mechanic than giving a kid a piano will guarantee that he'll be a musician. While I DETEST video games, I can't follow your logic that giving a kid an erector set will set him on a course towards a mechanical career.
#2: Last I heard, golf was a sport--an extracurricular activity, not a classroom activity. But even 40 years ago, when I was in high school, vocational ed was on the back burner. Want to weld?
