He still is a blacksmith to this day and he has another business now called Beisler Hammer. A few years ago he did some wrought iron fencing around the Tomb of The Unknown Soldier. Sad to see the pure useless garbage that they put in schools today. Ill equipped for life is an understatement. They're lost.

My mama taught me, I was 11 years old and I washed all my own clothes, bedclothes and helped with the bathroom towels and washcloths. Also I vacuumed, dusted once a week. I set the table for 7 and got dinner started every day and mama would take over when she got home. We kids would take turns washing, drying then putting away dishes.

    When my kids were about 9 or 10, we got a new washing machine that came with a video about operating it and doing laundry. The kids found it and watched it while I was at work...without being told to do so. When I got home, they were proudly doing all the laundry they could find and it was never a problem after that. I love remembering that.
    If kids are allowed to fulfill the responsibilities they are capable of at each succeeding age, they like the competency of it all. Gotta be positive and teach 'em as you go along.

Social change and progress is work done by the young while the older folks are there to push back against it while glorifying a better time in America that really never existed.

I didn't get rich, but I learned an awful lot about the way the world works and why and those are things that come in handy every day of the week. They form a great foundation for any kind of job training. Yes, I did get to study Marx and a lot of other social philosophers and I did have to sit through a lot of Marxist propaganda, but I was smart enough with enough life experience to see through that crap and learn how to spot Marxist tactics in everyday life, something that many of my peers can't do. And of course, there were the many required courses in other fields and the myriad elective subjects, including life enhancement studies. The student who seeks to learn rather than just meet requirements can do well with any college program. It's a shame that so many don't.

But i realized the same is true so I dropped out of a great university 4 years into it, right near the end when I realized that I was watching MIT and physics lectures on youtube for FREE that were better and i could re watch or pause... So I got a job building homes and learned more useful and practical hands on engineering skills while making 20-30$ and hour and studying at night, instead of -50$ an hour at a university for basics. At this point I can't believe colleges aren't going extinct! All the information you could want is at our fingertips for free, including million dollar MIT full courses and tests for free.

    High school needs a class or 2, every year, on life skills.
    Home Ec, but expanded. Personal finance (budgeting, mortages and loans, etc). Daily life scheduling and planning. Major purchases considerations. Minor household repairs. On and on we could go. This will go much farther in improving QOL for budding adults than knowing equations to anything more than balancing your budget.
    Academia is quite self serving in their goals. Grade and academic achievement to get money is their primary focus, the BS it's usefulness afterwards.

    To me every school long before college should teach you how to learn to know with the basics like math/reading/writing, learn to do through real world projects because that's how we internalize, learn to learn by taking things back to how Socrates taught critical thinking skills, learning to be (like a leader).
    This will set us up for correcting soo much that's wrong in the world.

Sadly we are at a critical junction in society where we need good, qualified, caring individuals who will teach kids these life skills to be able to break the cycle that is going on with having no personal responsibility, with lack of money skills, with lack of ambition and work ethic. Also unfortunately, there is a lack of qualified, caring individuals that want to see the kids succeed in this area because teacher unions are controlling everything that is taught.

    My high school didn't teach me anything. They would pack 30+ students in the room with one "teacher", it took the "teacher" 15-20 minutes to get everyone to shut up and take attendance. Then the "teacher" would just tell us to read a chapter from whatever book they gave us. Then the "teacher" would proceed to hand out homework. This pattern would continue for each class. I could have read all those chapters at home. I didn't need the "teacher" or the school building. All they are, are glorified babysitters and nothing more.
