In the UK, in what's basically 6th/7th grade, 80-81 I took a rotating class. Every 6 weeks we swapped from cooking, metal shop, wood shop, pottery, etc., Whole class mixed of boys/girls. It was very cool. I made a nice pencil box, cut and stamped a metal key chain, all sorts of things.
Then I came to the US in 82, end of 7th grade. Nothing like that was even on electives besides typing and theatre irrc. There were some car shop classes, and a farming program, but those were clearly not on the college path route, and were half day things so you couldn't just do them on the side.
