I was amused by one direction that this thread had taken... Think
about it: If we are going to send all of those mundane low paying jobs
overseas and keep those high paying computer jobs here..... you know,
do what we do best..... why shouldn't we do away with technical
programs?...do we really need anything but college prep classrooms?

That's a depressing thought. I'm already in a quandary about what to do when
my mechanic and his partner retire. Probably switch to a horse. It took 15
years of aggravation before I found these guys. I really don't want to
repeat the process.
