[Steam-engine] Make your own Iron Castings!!

[Terry Welch]

That was not the case here. The new Teacher they hired was not very educated on casting, even
though he said he was. I do not think the school district would have problem if they have a good
teacher. I believe the teacher that is in there now is not very good on any form of shop class.
When he came, he could not run a mig welder. That is mostlikly why they do not do casting any
more. The current teacher is junking a lot of machines in the shop class and the school board is
not replacing the machines. The retired teacher offered to come back and teach the casting class
but the current teacher said no.
