    If this had been around in CA during my time, I might not have been so embarrassed on film day...

      The high schools here in our area of Texas offer BBQ courses for credit, a suppose as an offshoot of home economics. They also teach skills needed to fabricate their own cookers, so it’s shop meets home ec !!! Anyway good to see future Texas youth are being taught something useful !!!!

        Geez - I might have actually enjoyed high school if that had been happening when I was there.

          I met a fellow who was selling his spice rubs at a local fair this last spring. Turns out that he is a high school teacher in a neighboring community and his classes are all forms of cooking with an emphasis on outdoor cooking and grilling. That would have been so cool if we had something like that. On the other hand, back then nobody cared if we had guns in our trucks at school and I wouldn't trade those days for anything.

              Good to see some useful courses that will give kids skills they can carry through life. Not like maths and speellingg and all that noncence. But seriously, how cool. I wish all schools made it regular practice to teach actual practical skills while making it fun. We don't need to know the major exports of Turkey and Laos, or the capital cities of each African country, but we do need to know how to write a check, change a tire, balance our finances, and cook!

                There's no time for all of that junk, we have to get them to score well on a standardized test. Priorities, man!

              That's awesome. I probably wouldn't have realized that I wanted to do that when I was in high school, but still...

                Hate to say it but I was so messed up in high school that I would not have appreciated this. But I love it for today's kids.

                    Punctuation is the difference between feeling you're nuts, and feeling your nuts..

                  Just wanted to update the reference to the National High School BBQ Association - it's https://highschoolbbq.club/ now.
                  Does anyone (by any chance) have information about the Aaron Franklin's Texas-Style BBQ course?

                    Is there anyone here from Texas Barbecue at Texas A&M University? I'm also looking for partnerships (our high school will have its first barbecue summer course). We're interested in Barbecue workshops mostly.

                      Here in suburban Chicago our son has taken a wood shop class and a culinary class in his first two years of HS. Both have been valuable. High schools have teams for everything these days, why not BBQ? Cool idea.
