Last week I completed 13 years as a substitute teacher. I can't live on the pay but I love to do it.
High schools promote going to college. Everything else is looked down on. Here in Lubbock TX there is a need for welders [after the one year course in the community college, by the third year they are making $40,000 per year with their own truck].
There is an eleven letter dirty word in the English language:
A G R I C U L T U R E. The future in farming and selling locally grown food, locally, is unlimited. Out of 125 students taking Vo-Ag this past year only two are interested in production agriculture.
Now that school is out, I will be preparing and submitting a document to the TOGFA about establishing The Future Organic Farmers of America in the high schools.
