Learning for Work

Connie Goddard's book, Learning for Work: How Industrial Education Fostered Democratic Opportunity was sent to me for review but a better job is done here at the Front Porch Republic.

The truly important point is that industrial arts in some manner should be offered to all... whether in the kitchen, garden or woodshop. 

Make, fix and create...

my stroke

I had a stroke on December 1, 2024  while waiting to board a flight home to Arkansas. I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance from O'Hare Airport to Resurrection Hospital in Chicago where I underwent treatment for 17 days.  

I am currently home in Arkansas and receiving regular therapies. You may have wondered. I'll be back to my advocacy of hands-on learning when I am more able.

Make, fix, and create.
