Thank GOD ! You had me going but I didnt think a moon bat would
be in this crowd. But dont get me wrong. We do have our share of
characters but characters are cool.
I agree with the kids, teach them everything & dont worry about a
little risk.
Where I came from we had one of the top schools in Mass. I got
both my sons out fast & into trade school.
#1 son came out with a useful trade & also scored very high
on SAT WITHOUT prep, enuff to apply to MIT but we couldnt put together the $$$.
He did RCA CTC175 etal summers to go to collage. Degrees in
math & meteorology. Then USAF to Capt. Back to collage for his
masters, got it with some latin name.........
Same thing #2 son but only 1 yr of collage, bad experience.
Teacher from GB had open discussion in history class abt the
death penalty. He called us barbarians ! Son politely asked why he
was in a barbaric country. "Couldnt get a job ? the MONEY, or
something else ????". Instant F for the semester.
Dropped out, took an assy job & a year later production manager.
At lowest part of economy some Chinamen started coming around.
Put in apps & had 3 companies bidding for him. Now makes 3 times
what I ever did. It took 4 yrs............
Enuf of that, teach them everything give them lots of your time
& you will be rewarded in the best ways.

BTW not many make $$ on dinosaurs but they are cool & kids love them !
