Parents and politicians would have kittens and cry all kinds of child brutality here in the USA, if a program like this were to be suggested. Which serves to prove the fact the that the education systems in Asian countries far and again surpass anything in western countries.
My dad used to take me to the shop where he worked before I was old enough to walk. Place me on a large furniture comforter and give me things like screwdrivers small wrenches and worn-out small car parts to play with. Those were my toys. By the time I was 4 or 5 I was helping him work on vehicles and equipment. By holding a droplight or handing him wrenches or holding a backup wrench. Or rebuilding a carburetor for him while he was doing something else. I could change oil, do tuneups and grease tractors or cars before I was old enough to start school in the first grade.
