My son's CAD (engineering) class got canceled.  The most logical option we were given was to move him over to the machining class.  It makes sense- if he wants to design stuff, he should know how the machines he is designing for work.  The machining class has a much bigger ($$) supply list.  He had to get a uniform (shirts), goggles, steel toed shoes, and this $463 tool kit.  When we looked at the list of tools, my dad had extras of all of them and would let him borrow them.  But then we looked at the tool prices online, and saw that the tool company was giving the kids a really good deal.  So we bought new tools.  My husband says he'll use some of those tools if our son doesn't once school is out.
