I am thinking Anerin- there are other ways to check the system.
You I am certain will find them...
Oh yes, I know, and I am working towards that now, and with that, if my plans work out, perhaps the taking on of a yob as an assisstant. I say a yob for a reason, because my understanding and experience is those kids that the system fails are often highly gifted, but in areas the schools cannot educate in, the result is they get cast out as a peg that will not be hewn down into a shape that fits a round hole. Soon that cast off gets funnelled into things like crime and the destruction of hope. It is my intention to teach a viable trade by practice not college, as soon I believe when it is everyone and their dog has a degree, it is practical skills that will be required, not bits of paper, and certainly not in the art and craft field I am in.
Has anyone actually considered violence and the propensity to destroy, might actually be frustration at not being recognised. Now, it is also my understanding that many of those who drop out of the system have what are called disorders, new reasons for teachers to fail in what they do, as a disorder solves all, the person gets written off and the prisons in this country are opulated by about 80% of people with known disorders, they have effectively become the new psychiatric hospitals since the hospitals closed and adopted the so called care in the community with the next option, prison.
My cousin left school with no qualifications and even a report saying he was a non conformist, he has since held two successful businesses both grossing a million a year involved with art and education of the misunderstood young, and is now starting another business in another part of the country, and motivating me to get my ass into gear and follow my dreams, besides he knows what I can do, has every confidence in me, and wants my skills, he needs them to enhance his own product and a joint venture at some point, Bdsm furniture using rare hard woods, he a skilled carpenter,wooden boat builder and rigging designer and me an artist blacksmith specialising in recovered iron . He has zero qualifications but is highly educated in life.
Methinks too much emphasis has been put on bits of paper and not enough on practical abilities, it is the natural practical abilities I wish to discover, or provide the enviroment so one can discover their own abilities in the young 'failures' in society and give them the ability to have pride in the work they create with their own hands. Further to that, how to market oneself and make money away from the system.
My goal in life, is to inspire others, I have had a shit deal through life, I wish for others to not go through that, but learn young they are a value, maybe not to society, but to themselves and the living they can make in society.
