Bryan A,
Shop was my favorite class!! I was one that hated academics, but loved doing hands on things. Metal working, drafting, wood shop.......oh and sports
There are still a lot of kids like you out there.

Unfortunately you are a dying breed because we are not encouraging or giving kids the opportunity to excel in your area. Not everything can or should be made in China.

On the other hand I give you a lot of credit as a teacher in dealing with the kids today
I frequently question my decision but more often than not it is because of administration and not the kids. Kids are kids, we make them what they are. Our schools reflect society, what we perceive as value the kids absorb. It comes down to do as I do. And that is what they do.....
