Even our students who go on to college and grad school still feel that their shop was a valuable part of their overall education.Bill Calhounhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08908076522127296018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864823749958335107.post-20699081825478350762015-07-19T14:03:57.242-04:002015-07-19T14:03:57.242-04:00Hello Bill,

It sounds like your school is an incredible example of the importance of different teaching styles and the “pull” process of learning. Your technical school would have been much more motivating for me. I usually feel a great deal of satisfaction when I am able to repair something. Our educational system needs to realize the value of technical skills and require all students to have at least one trade skill combined with their education. I feel that this would provide more flexibility in a student’s marketable skills. I do not think it would hurt our country to increase manufacturing capabilities either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
