3 of the students are new to WW, the other two "Knew Everything" (I know,
because they told me), but it turns out that they hadn't actually *built*
anything.... ANYTHING.... in 3 semesters of WW Shop.

Glad the first day went well. Your comment here got me thinking. In three
semesters, the kid is either very bored or does not care as long as he gets
a good grade. I'd get a tool in their hands ASAP, even just to drill a hole
or bang a nail so they feel as though it is a "hands on" shop.
