Sorry I had to put this here.
My son started his first day of High school on tuesday, his first class of the day is Guess what?????
Auto shop First quarter they work on engines then 2nd quarter they do brakes. (he doesnt have it 2nd semester, he has weight lifting)
so we go in to the open house (you go to each class & listen to the teacher talk about what they are going to teach & what the students are expected to learn) first thing out of the teachers mounth is I HATE cars, they are a pricey, hunk of junk.
as you guys know my husband, The kids & I all love cars.
Once the teacher found out that my son did know something about cars, he told us that he can be the student leader for the class, showing the kids which wrench or what ever to use to get parts off.
How can someone teach students something when they hate the subject of what they are teaching?
My nephew had this same teacher a few years back (he took over the auto shop 4yrs ago, after the last teacher retired after teaching 27yrs (that teacher loved his job ( I know because I was one of his students))
They dont have text books in the class they are expected to go to
www.CDXetextbook.com every night to look over the stuff they looked at via the hour they have.
but the good thing is ( i Dont know how its even possible) our high school auto shop is one of the best in the state. & hold some of the top honors for auto competions through out the state.
