The Hood

We checked the engine before we left today.  Oil, washer fluid, coolant.  Each of the five high school students joining us on this expedition to Erie will have the responsibility at several points during this trip to perform this simple act.

It saddened me that only one of them had ever cracked the hood of a car.  I can think of few tasks that will be more useful and relevent as they reach adulthood than simply maintaining the fluids in their car.  Yet they are not taught in school.  Why?
