Does thinking about running for the board of education count?
Those thoughts were tossed when I attended a board meeting and found out
just how tightly the local board's hands were tied by all the federal
rules. In terms of the education our children get today, every federal
action serves mainly to see to it that the unfortunate child with Downs
can actually pass the tests and graduate.
I experienced the other side of that coin in the late 1940's when they
discontinued teaching phonics. My school was late doing that.
Fortunately I had a mother who, if I asked a question she did not know
the answer to, did know where the library was. She was also the only
girl in the class on aviation technology at Des Moines Technical High
School in 1929.
So I quit school over an allergy issue in '49 and started fixing these
newfangled things called tv's for real money. Had my name drawn at the
lopcal draft board in the middle of Korea, but made a 98 on the AFQT.
That got me 4F'd. But the next best score on that test that day, out of
130+ other kids, was 36, obviously they wanted somebody who would take
orders. and I wasn't that somebody. Switched to tv engineering in the
early 60's, after passing the 1st Phone w/o cracking a book. Saw a
notice in the Norfolk ME paper where I was then working, they were going
to test for the C.E.T. a day or so later at the community college, so I
walked in, laid my $20 on the table and took it. Missed 2 of 125
multiple choice questions, which combined with my many years of
experience, put the Journeyman version of that card in my billfold.
Thats VERY impressive to potential employers, never failed to get me the
job...
I finished out my working time in the middle of 2002 after nearly 19
years in the CE's chair at WDTV-5, the local CBS affiliate. Since then
I've been building CNC machinery, and harassing these mailing lists on
occasion. Linux user since 1998.
You were saying?
Cheers, Gene Heskett
