I hear schools are terrified, in the times in which we live, of an accident happening on a lathe or milling machine. The insurance companies probably don't allow it.
I think it's more to do with not having any teachers who know how to turn them on. Design technology is a made up subject, woodwork and metalwork have now been absorbed into "resistant materials", which covers, or doesn't cover, woodwork, metalwork, plastics etc, so you end up knowing very little about lots more different materials!
