It is a shame that your school does not have any shop courses. I am at a bit of a loss to understand why you would see such advice as sarcastic, and at even more of a loss to comprehend how a teacher could recommend against taking a hands-on course where you improve your abilities working with materials, tools and technology.
I will just have to assume that what constitutes a "shop class" in your area is quite different than in ours, where a shop course is most definitely not one that would be considered a "blow off course", nor one of the "easy A" type courses you are referring to. The majority of our robot build team is
expected to be enrolled in a metal working, wood working, or electronics course in order to learn the skills required to build the robot.
