[rick_rine]

jeeez you guys are picky.
echidna: Just dont reply!!!!
Burnsy: Ditto!
Felixie: I am curious to see who or how many forum members are involved in high school education, you know, wood and metal work, although now we have fancy names like material, design and technology. Boy, I thought it was a simple question but I didn't understand the simple mentality of the people I asked.

Bit rough , question says "Are you involved in education?" My answer, yes, but none of those mentioned, I am primary but am looking into Senior Manual Arts. The poll is too specific, I appreciate what you are asking and I too am interested in the responses. Just broaden the scope some to gain more info from the one poll, what about Tafe or University teachers as well?

Rick,
are you involved in education? If so (or even if not so) you may wish to improve your communication skills. It seems to be an oft overlooked fact that mind reading is not a skill that anyone reliably possesses. If you wanted to know how many forum members were involved in manual arts training in a high school setting then perhaps you should have asked just that.

Rick,
I hope you don't mind but I edited the poll to make it a bit clearer for the members as to your intentions.

[Ashore]

Wheres the option for those of us who are retired

[Carry Pine]

Primary school teachers who teach woodwork as an option? They get the choice of paper tearing, sticking egg cartons together or woodwork. Guess what they choose? (Even the girls!).

[The Bleeder]

Are you involved in education?

Bit kind of vague...yes I am but I'm a Database Administrator for the Department of Education and Training NSW.

[Grahame Collins]

I am an ex -Tafe Instructor and ex manual Arts Teacher.

[Andy Mac]

As a tradesman I'm involved in education, teaching uni students how to use workshop equipment and handtools.

Cheers

I am involved in Secondary Education

I am the school ict manager/technician, Physics an Science teacher, Admin tasks... and yes, I teach woodwork too (a grade nine class in Victoria)

So I am not a manual arts teacher but perhaps could be classed as a part time woodwork teacher who teaches full time? Now I am

Your poll doesn't really allow me to answer it.

I always wanted to be a woodwork teacher but at the time, they would not accept left handers. Well after 34 years of teaching, they finally let me have a go and I am loving it! They were so pleased with what I did last year, they have asked me to do it again....even taking me off another science class to make it possible.

Cheers,
Chipman
