Carpentry is good for you!

Schools have this thing about teaching more than what they promise on their publicity manuals or whatever it is that they call it, like they are trying to do you a favour by giving your ward more than you expected. I mean do you really care if you learn stuff like knitting, bookkeeping, carpentry or some other bullcrap?

Anyway i had the good fortune to sign up for carpentry( not intentionally- my name was drafted in there as i had not signed up for anything by myself) Soon it was clear that it was by far the coolest thing we had ever gotten to do, i mean having all kinds of sharp metal weapons which can cut a limb effortlessly is pretty cool anytime of the year.

i can honestly say that i not a good carpenter, cause one needs to actually build something to be one, however if you need someone to tear apart something made out of wood, then im ur man. After the countless times that we cut apart the teachers chair( while he was still on it) , class desks, windows etc every guy in that class was in a class of his own.

So maybe the class was not actually for teaching, maybe it was designed to keep those boys happy who would raise all kinds of hell otherwise. kind of like a venting the anger kind of thing. Though it wasnt a clear success- we did raise hell even then, eventually making the teacher retire& winding up to be the only batch ever to not get a farewell in the school's history. But still the school's efforts and the thought process must be appreciated- they do try so very hard. I mean its the same everywhere isnt it ? Talk about your govt cover ups- these things are right in your face. you dont need to think aliens everytime man, the establishment has other ways to numb you down. Anyway GETTING A LITTLE TOO PARANOID.....

One of the main parameters of your school life has to be the number of teachers you caused to give up their jobs just because they couldn't take the punishment anymore. in my case it was 3, and is still one of the most satisfying memories that i have so- up yours public education!
