We were called The Toilets originally - we were flushed with success.
I can install toilets. I know all about the wax ring. I can tile floors. I'm learning how to do basic wiring.
Growing up I had a front row seat to seeing two people work really hard. My dad scrubbed toilets at a private Catholic school for a while and that was to help me get through school.
Education must provide the opportunities for self-fulfillment it can at best provide a rich and challenging environment for the individual to explore in his own way.
