The Underground History of American Educationwill take you on a journey into the background, philosophy, psychology, politics, and purposes of compulsion schooling. The most important book about schools you will ever read. It will open your eyes.

As to the naysayers' comments on US education- People have a tendency to judge by comparison- IMO and experience I say look to the study of Sociology and immigration and look at Americans - the caste system.

And if you don't like the book send it back to me @ Pottzs refund and they will give you a refund

 

We used to say sofa….we got another dog in Oct and her name is Sophie….aka sofa. Our other dog Gracie, took up residency on the davenport…so now we call the davenport Gracies bed…...To say Sofa was a holy terror is a vast understatement….Grace took up residency on the davenport to escape Sofa, she couldn t get up there. Grace was not allowed on the Davenport until one day I saw the Sophie latched onto Graces ear and dangling like an earring…...that day the Davenport became Grace s….now the Soph can get up there with no effort….my davenport was originally kind of a Burgandy color…now it s Burgandy and white.

I have no clear understanding of what I just read??? Is that some kind of fancy detectivist technique for eliciting a confession? Because, I swear, whatever it was, it wasnt me who did it. It was that other guy.

what do you mean,it seemed pretty clear- dont you speak mid-west?

Pottz this is not acceptable for a friend of yours and one of ours to subjected to a pure meltdown by Brian. I will say that post was utterly despicable.

Mike did you ever bust Brian while being a cop? I enjoyed your posts and dog pictures.

- Desert_Woodworker

hey maybe he didn't understand midwest slang,i grew up with it,kinda lost now though.you call a sofa a davenport and people go,what?

 

so in that case you know what a davenport is mike?

- pottz

It was used as a synonym for "sofa," especially in the Midwestern United States and in northern New York state.

or if I am incorrect maybe this is what you guys are referring to…

- DesertWoodworker

correct but your not mike ? now pour me some.

Slow down my friend- I will have Davenport Friday night at the patio for you along with the food trucks. Corelez is demanding that we pay our fee in Bitcoins and wired to a bank on Brian s Spanish island… see if you can work things out.

...but I did find this… and after seeing the "Davenport" wines…

 

I have read this book, DW. And Mr. Gatto is one of my Heroes. I only have two of those. The other would be Ezra Pound.

Mr. Gatto was NYC Public School Teacher Of The Year - Twice. He didnt even have a teaching-certificate. What he did for disadvantaged kids in NYC is nothing short of heroic, and those students of his loved him. He was so successful with them, that all the other teachers were threatened and they undermined him, and finally got him expelled.

There are several very good interviews with him, can be found on youtube. Mr. Gatto will support my assertion that the dumbing down of American education is deliberate, across all castes except the very upper crust.

Brian- so glad that you replied; I thought of you when posting it for I know that you are aware of the current school systems. As I may have stated- caste system.

Back in the 1960's- highschool had three passes to take- industrial- business- general… or drop out

Similar to today- parents your children are moving along- be proactive

best to you guys that are trying…

Been busy in shop. My helper showed me the tape holder was all done, 3 coats of poly, and all the holders painted yellow with no runs or sags. He has done well for 2nd time doing finishing work. We installed this evening.

+1 looks good

 

No breaks here. Once he started the finishing process we got cracking on next project. Where to put the stir sticks for the finishes. Problem here is I have had all this stuff all set up for 20+ years in main shop. Now I need it in the finishing room so I don't have to walk back and forth for every item I forgot.

In looking the room over I found this ideal spot for them.

So I put my helper to work on cutting the pieces and getting started on assembly. No fancy joinery here I have bad habit of changing things later like this so just straight cuts and some screws. Then set him to edge banding the OSB edges you see from the front. Got his first dose of hand plane work, proved to be challenging as OSB is not really fun to work with on this regard. Even so, he was persistent and got it nice and smooth then rounded the edge over. Pretty good for 2 weeks working with me and his first time working with wood in his 16 years of life.

Once we had this dry fitted Jacob noticed we could squeeze more room out of the one side for the qt can stir sticks if we add a shelf. He dry fitted a mock up of cardboard and discovered if you push one back in such a small space it is hard to get out. Solved that by making the shelf slide in and out. If a stick gets stuck, just pull the tray forward and no more issue. So he took two pieces back apart and cut dado's in them for the 5mm plywood tray, then a dado for the back and glued that in. In looking at it he inquired could we edge band 5mm plywood. Of course, and so we did. With all the kinks worked out of our design it went off to finishing room. He got done with the main body and saw I had blue dye from a previous project. Wanted to try the dye on the tray. Sure why not. And he discovered that the 5mm plywood was a red ish color and when mixed with blue dye came out somewhat green. Meh, so what. LOL. The edge banding though came out a nice blue. He had gotten that nice and flat with the hand plane, so smooth transition. A good project for him and he was very pleased with himself. Ate two pizzas admiring his handiwork this evening.

Man, some of ya all are dense as driftwood. I was only playing on Moke´s sense of humor, with my own original recipe sense of humor. Do you really think, after all I have written on this thread, that I am not capable of understanding Moke´s playground of humor?

Better places to hide money in eastern Europe than in Spain Pottz might have to buy I a little piece of property next to Gunny. Could stretch the dollar pretty far in Albania. You're doing a good job teaching your helper Gunny. He seems to enjoy it also.
