I guess it all depends on how it's presented as a subject. I remember "shop class" and having almost no interest in it. However, decades later, I'm now building a 3D printer and I have a desktop CNC mill. It's not that I hate working with my hands, it's that I lack the skills to make the things I want to do. Computer-controlled tools allow me to enjoy "shop class".

If all they try to teach kids is .NET, frameworks and things like that, most of them will get bored really fast, even those who might have a good future as a programmer. They should use things like Arduino because it can mix programming, electronics and robotics all at the same time.
