I just wish teachers got the respect and pay they deserve.
Congrats on the award!
I still remember a science teacher I had in junior high that really got me started down the road in computers.
Good teachers stay with you like that...

This is another reason why I'm excited about this. Our curriculum, Technology Education, is one that is usually first to go. I hope this helps at the state level in some way. We are battling to keep our profession and are trying to get legislation passed to make our classes required for graduation. They are greying up the situation by allowing students to take other courses to receive their applied arts credits.

It baffles my mind that this curriculum is disappearing from school systems, especially in rural areas. Contrary to what rose colored glasses wearing administrators like to think, a majority of high school students simply aren't college bookworm material. Many dropouts realize this when the school system doesn't so they go ahead and start their career. How about we instead bring back the co-op curriculum for these kids and train them to be smart workers and business people? Teach them money management skills in a real world scenario, etc.
Anyways, I commend you for your achievement. Keep up the great work. Enjoy the satisfaction of enriching and changing the lives of kids for the better.
