I took shop in jr high and doubt they would be able to teach those classes today. Shop had drafting first, then metals, plastics and wood.
Had to take a test before doing the plastics so the kids did not screw up the machines. There was vacuum molding (magnetic signs), rotisserie molding (footballs with air valves), injection molding (golf tees) and compression molding (hard plastics like ash trays).
Metals included sheet metal, riveting, soldering using old fashioned soldering irons that were heated in open gas fired furnaces and sand casting with molten aluminum.
We made screw drivers by threading and shaping tool steel, heating it up and melting it into plastic handle stock and that was shaped on a lathe.
We had the choice of wood projects. We all had to make shelves first with a scroll saw before picking other projects. I made a folding chess board out of maple and walnut.
Today, kids would burn the place down and brand each other.
