You are welcome anytime. I have three real good second year students. We started school last week. I have 6 first year students. They seem to be interested.

fundamental skill levels missing in job candidates?




Interesting article about how one company tests (test link included) for fundamental job skills.

I also know of a community college that has introduced a basic math course into its graphic communications curriculum, because so many entering students (high school graduates) are not equipped to read a ruler, and do basic math.

A new book worth looking at?

Soulcraft -- about the real work of the world! And the lack of societal and educational attention for our worthwhile careers!
