A follow up on these girls would be interesting and to see how that experience directed their choices over the past fifteen years. I would bet some of those girls; now women; own a vintage tractor. 😉🚜
My father-in-law taught my wife how to work on a car, a rig and a tractor even though she's a city girl. Me and her have both been teaching our children including my very opinionated thirteen-year-old daughter, how to work on the tractor and the farm truck. Like mother like daughter. She said when she starts high school she wants to take Autotech. It brought tears to my eyes
I’m a proud father of two girls grown of course now we raised them to be independent hard-working ladies from there birth back in the 70s I tried to inspire them to strive for whatever they desire, girl power I love it! Decatur Texas, tractor teams girls and boys congratulations you rock!
Hot Girls Work Here! No shit! I'm surprised those young men could stay focused on their rebuild! LOL! All kidding aside, that is just freaking awesome! That instructor needs to be commended! Waaaaaaay back when I was in high school, we had two girls, both hot cheerleaders, that took Vo Ag and joined FFA on a dare. I tell ya what. They were determined to do anything any us guys did. And they did. One of them got the Reserve Champion ribbon at the state fair on her welding project, and the other a blue on her wood work project. The one went on to be a welder and worked in a huge body shop and did all their welding. Eventually she went on to be part owner in the business, and she still is today. The one who got the blue ribbon on her woid project went on to marry a carpenter, and today they own their own house building business and employ over 20 people. So yeah... YOU GO GIRLS!!
Both my kids are mechanical BUT it was the GIRL that ended up the really greasy monkey. When she moved my buddy that runs his own saw shop and myself gave her a tool box full of stuff. She still uses it. Way to go, Coach!
We need more of this type of education. Our local high school once had a machine shop at a time when the company I worked for was hiring men from overseas and paying them huge salaries since they couldn’t find enough qualified machinist in the USA. The school district decided to strip the high school of its machine shop education program due to rules requiring equal programs and facilities at all schools. They replaced the machine shop with cosmetology programs at all high schools in the district. Score 1 for equality and equity. Score 0 for American workers and their families!
I grew up in small town Marfa in the 70's. I learned how to make 3 types of white sauce and how to sew pillow shams. My Home Economics teacher was a gem. I do wish I had an opportunity to learn how to tile a bathroom, basic plumbing, roofing, but it was what it was back then.
There’s been many a family raised by hairdressers & barbers. Girls work in machine shops too. A girl I went to school with in the late 70s, owned two machine shops in the 80s. Replacing machine shop in schools had to do with safety & the cost of insurance, & also, the fact that it’s cheaper to import because American wages can’t compete with slave wages of foreign nations.
you should tell these girls to look at alex taylor racing.... and alex hanus ....both started around 16 and the alex taylor she knows how to build and engine and car from the ground up....good skills to learn ... its not about doing it better than the boys...its about knowing your capable of accomplishing anything within your limits....as do men have them as well....
If you say this to a kid today they would cancel you in their head and demand the world stop around them until you extend your hand to be rejected by them.

The best thing I ever seen girls work just as hard when it comes to crunch time.

This is exactly what happens when morons run things. NO common sense.

It seems that way....but there are enclaves in this country where the youth take on these challenges.
