[andrew10 at zoominternet.net]

 Dear Mr. Whillock
          I am looking for some  advice I recently visited the
basilica at St. Vincents College  and the grist mill at the college I
would like to make a relief carving or incised carving  of the
basilica and the grist mill at the college any advise on carving
buildings .  You can see the Basilica and the Gristmill at the St
Vincents college website .That's St Vincent College in Latrobe Pa If
ever get the chance check out the carving in the church there and
check the confessional the carving there are amazing

    Steve,   A question was asked about projects that a shop teacher 
could use with 5th graders.  My reply was to first decide which skills
the  students needed to learn and then create projects that develop
those  skills: sawing in a straight line, using a square, smoothing
with a plane, using  a coping saw, etc. Additionally, the shop
teacher has an opportunity to  integrate the other skills the
students are learning into his teaching: reading  directions,
measuring, math, 45 and 90 degree angles, working in  groups on a
project, etc.   I editorialized, however, if there are  more students
than stations, it will be a challenge.  I climbed higher on  my
soapbox and expressed my admiration for those teachers who, in spite
of  issues of overcrowding, dealing with the diversity of students
and their  development, somehow make it work.   I'm personally not
into blaming a single entity for our  problems, educational,
political or otherwise. We're all in this  together.  The guy in the
mirror is as much to blame as anybody else. He  also deserves some
credit, because, in spite of our problems--and we'll never be 
without them, we're all doing a pretty good job of plugging away with
what we've  got.   Now off the soapbox and back to making chips.

wonder if Congress would consider it....  That      unfortunately
won't happen because they are sooo much more important than     
teachers and children.
