You do know what goes on in wood shop class right? Some light demolition is nothing compared to the power tools they'll be using soon.

At my HS in the 90s students were frequently used to do stuff like this. Ex: this ravine/brush area we want to clean it out and chop some stuff down to make it a "nature center".

Similar in woodshop and metal working - doing stuff to fix the schools infra/bldg.

It's actually the basis of community building. The students take some ownership of the area they work/live in by fixing/building for others.

Wonderful idea.

Well, this is what they did in wood shop. Happy to send proof. My son documented the full process.

Yeah please share his documentation.

maybe they used the wood to make something else
