    Class Project at School

    Check out one of my students' projects for SkillsUSA competition. We recieved a 99 out of 100 points in the state competition.

    That was a cool video. Went to fast on pics tho for my tired eyes to read fully.
    Neat to see kids put something like a class project together, all working together.

    It is great to see kids learning to do something that they will actually be able to use the rest of their life.

    You can always pause it while you read the notes. The song was a little too short top stretch the time out. I am going to put more up as I do them.

    Thanks Crabo...I was so tired this morning from work last night, I couldn't see straight or know which end was up or down, sideways or forwards or backwards. Went back to bed around 10 this morning and just got up an hour ago...little over 5 hrs!! Very unheard of of me sleeping like that

    Until you realize I want to make a 1.4 caliber boolit for a spud gun. This is my goal! Feel free to come hate or help me reach it.

    Yep, too fast for me, too. Couldn't read and look at the project.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Great job!
    I used the "pause" button on every photo change so I could spend all the time needed to check out all the details and I'm a slow reader.

    crabo,
    More excellent work, fantastic! Early on in my teaching I discovered the need for the kids to learn about pride. Pride in their work and themselves; once they achieved this their accomplishments seemed unlimited. The big smiles told such.

    That's where parenting comes in.

    WILCO, "That's where parenting comes in."

    Not to hijack the thread, but, the "ghetto" school I worked at 2 parents were nonexistent and I was more a parent than most of the mothers. Winter time, kids came to school because we had heat and when not cold they came for the free food. Not all, but most.

    End all liberal welfare programs and you'll see things change in a hurry.

    Now back to our regular programming.......

    The latest, read my notes. The safety factors got lost in the enthusiasm for making the video. I'll be putting more up. I have so many pictures and the kids really enjoy looking up the videos.

    In many cases, the parenting is non-existent. I often spend more time with them than their parents do. You would not believe the number of kids who do not live with their parents.
