That is impressive. I am terrified of electric and plumbing. I am very good at basic construction. Geometry. And understanding how weight needs to follow to the foundation. Actually, I am impressed by all skills. My sister didn't do woodwork but she did do needlework that could be displayed in a museum. People should take pride in skills. The new generation simply takes pride in calling for help. Sad.
Absolutely! Having skills can be so helpful. I’m the electrical helper😳 Always have to tao the ceiling so be can find the hole to feed the wire down. Recently he’s been adding task lighting in the kitchen. It amazes what he can do. He’s wired the house to flip the switch to run generator. It’s in a storage building and ran wire from house under ground to storage building’s panel box. He got a licensed electrician friend to check it. You can legally do your house but not other’s houses. I might not be saying that correctly.
I did needlework when I was a child. It was getting popular again in the 70s. My daughter has learned cross stitch and is embroidering names with yarn on kid’s sweaters. They are selling min $80.00. She makes gifts and for her child. I’m impressed because she never cared about doing things like that. Crafts and sewing clothes are becoming popular again. Women in the 30s range are getting interested. She’s learning to sew with my machine. Her friend makes clothes for her daughter and sells them. Clothes for the toddler is next on her list. She’s excited and ordered fabric. I’m so proud of her.
I barely passed high school math. Advanced math blows my mind. Great chat fren
Bless your heart. I am not a math wizard. I remember an 8th grade aptitude test. My results recommended engineering and law. I always thought I was bad at math because I was low on the scores. Few years ago, I found state required test result from 8th grade. I was in the 99/100 percentile in everything but math. I was in the 88th percentile so I just assumed I was an idiot. See how easily the state decides who you are?
Absolutely state testing should not be a thing. Some people know the subject but don’t do good on timed test. Glad you figured out you weren’t an idiot😝 I just didn’t school work and didn’t apply myself but made A’s in history. If I had art, cooking and crafts I would have been a top student. I saw a video recently talking about structured school all day isn’t healthy for kids. The entire system is broken. I think it’s one of the Swedish countries kids start school at 7. It said, younger than that they aren’t ready.
Absolutely agree. Kid's eyes don't adjust for reading until 7. I never went to kindergarten. I went into 1st grade without knowing the alphabet and my colors. We had plenty of time for recess and story time. I think the majority of my class attended college. Couple of drs, several engineers, teachers galore, several veterans, one pilot..not even one criminal. Statistics are pretty impressive.
