It's hard, dangerous work, and only the most experienced guys get to do it.<br /><br />Unfortunately, this is not a career path for Bear, at least not as immediately as he thinks it will be. :(<br /><br />I hope the school keeps up their level of supervision, and that he learns as much as possible.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988396052848168103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852422397272068136.post-17747048695988075952010-08-21T22:11:00.413-05:002010-08-21T22:11:00.413-05:00Kelly - I totally agree!

He's only a junior, he could take welding next year, except he "won't be here." I've mentioned this option to him, and I'm going to keep mentioning he could stay, and give him reasons he should stay. (Soon I'm going to point out that they don't offer vocational school for underwater welding in Oklahoma). <br /><br />At this point I'm not going to make his plans to leave us any easier. If he wants a car, welding, or help getting into technical college he's going to have to ask for help and do what he's supposed to do. Pouting and attitude are not helping him.<br /><br />Marymarythemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08205319256573120866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852422397272068136.post-65085769957398008542010-08-21T19:17:52.462-05:002010-08-21T19:17:52.462-05:00Gotta wonder how somebody who doesn't understa...Gotta wonder how somebody who doesn't understand how special need kids can "look" normal became an assistant director of sp ed.<br /><br />Does the school offer welding at all?
