You say that your high school students are listless, lethargic, and more than a little cynical? Is that what’s bothering you, Pookie? Maybe they’re bored and are wondering what all the things they’re learning in school could possibly be used for in the real world. Perhaps they ought to re-build an airplane and learn how to fly it. Imagine a high school program in which students could undergo STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education that resulted in solid job and technology skills.
