Rusty, I will be the first to say that there are some teachers who shouldn't teach. However, I hate it when all teachers are grouped together as a union protected bunch of non-professionals. I teach in rural Missouri. The union is uninterested in us and doen't protect us, only the larger cities get that perk. As for our teachers, I would say 95% of our staff are in it for the benefit of the kids. Our problem drop-out is from multiple problems. Our kids have an "I dont have to work for it" attitude that is fostered by our nations welfare culture. The parents of the students who drop out usually dont parent. Their kids usually run the home. Also we have added so many after school activities to keep them in school that there is not time to study and actually pass school. I cant get my students to stay for tutoring or to make up missed work becasue they have so many other after school activities competing for that time. Those are only a few of the things that comtribute, but please dont lay it all at the teachers feet. We try hard and put all kinds of extra time in to help the kids as much as we can. I love my students and want them to succeed and get good jobs. I try to instill a work ethic in them and show them the importance of a diploma and the ability to learn as a skill in itself. Sorry for the long rant but I do work hard and most of my fellow teachers here do to. Just hate to be labeled with the city schools that are a totally different situation.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
