Nobody’s Fool: Mike Rowe.
Our education system has left America in last place in the world. Here Mike talks about how shop class was taken away…and I remember, the boys used to love it.
To this day, I am shocked when my own husband comes to a simple electrical or house problem…he gives up. I once remember a front door had to be fixed, and two grown men said it could not be done, I was like “Figure it OUT! My god, men build skyscaper, this is a DOOR!” I remember my dad could fix any car, of course that was long ago, before all the tech now…which has changed. But our school system, not only is NOT teaching basic math, or reading…it’s throws the kids on the computers and tells them to just do the lesson, while the teachers sits in front of the class and basically tries to get his or her next degree in order to make more money, and the smart kids in the class, helps the others.
The teachers are becoming a joke. And if they are not? Teachers actaully TEACHING kids how to solve life problems, like finance, investing, business…they are shunned by the other teachers, and god forbid they make the class FUN.
I remember, years ago trying to teach my own son how to balance a checkbook and sign a check. And now, you cannot write a check in cursive because the machine or the person reading it, can’t read it.
So, Mike makes a good point here: College was SOLD as “You will never make it” to every parent, and most parents even when I was growing up, simply could not afford it. Even back then, the middle class was being destroyed, and you HAD to take courses that you didn’t want or was not something you would need in life. But you couldn’t get your degree without them. THAT was a travasty.
So, will they change this? There are still good schools, but our public schools? The teachers union alone makes it almost impossible to fight. I doubt if Trump gets very far with it.
Mike Rowe is a very smart builder, and America NEEDS more men builders. (And women too, if they can do the physcial work.) The women in WWII help build the planes. Let’s not forget that.
So, Enjoy Mike. He is NOBODY’s FOOL for the week!

About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
