Good to hear from you...Thanks for the insight Wes! Good to hear from you.<br /><br />I do plan on getting a masters degree. My wife just finished getting her degree (also in education) so I hope to pick a direction and get going on it in the next year or two. I have absolutely NO desire, however, to get in on the administrating side of things. Makes it a little harder to make a masters degree pay for itself, especially in the great state of Idaho...<br /><br />The old RHS shop disappeared during the last remodel I believe. I think the old junior high gym is now some sort of woodshop, but to my knowledge that's the extent of their "industrial arts" program. Remember our senior year and the introduction of "CTS"? Pretty much killed it right there.<br /><br />I could be totally wrong, but I perused the RHS website a few days ago and the only thing I saw offered was a few woods classes. Sucks. Hoping that people realize the value of these kinds of classes and keep them alive. We've got some great community support for that sort of thing here, hope to stick around for another 30 years of grade 7!dorkpunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900036378678814608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21565985.post-83917444744388187532013-03-31T21:24:42.055-06:002013-03-31T21:24:42.055-06:00Doug,
Happened upon the blog, and you've defi...Doug,<br /><br />Happened upon the blog, and you've definitely offered some interesting perspectives here. My thoughts? (not that you're asking)...get your M.Ed. In this way, you bring added value to the school district, put yourself in a more marketable position, and open doors for yourself on the Administration side, assuming that's an interest, in time.<br /><br />Since completing my M.Ed (back in '07), it has paid for itself, many times over. I suppose, then, that I'm just a tad biased in this respect.<br /><br />I didn't realize the old shop at RHS was a thing of the past. That's too bad, if infact that's what's happened - especially considering the chronic need AB has to fill skilled trades positions in the coming years. <br /><br />Anyways, hang in there, and best of luck with all things 'funding!'<br /><br />Wes S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
