Most California High Schools have a one track focus, that being ultimately a four year collage. There seems to be zero tolerance for any youth that wants to become a metal fabricator, or a chef, or a commercial artist. Upperlake High School, and Kelseyville High School have been in the lead education, not brainwashing. I applaud them. - Olmossback1 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 05:04:40 +0100 http://www.lakeconews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=23498:gebhard-we-need-workers-as-well-as-leaders&catid=38:letters&Itemid=358#comment-5 The new California State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Tom Torlakson, is a veteran high school science teacher and former Sierra Club activist. Back in the 1970s he taught a curriculum heavily emphasizing the values of conservation, recycling, and sustainable living. He may be interested to know that a California high school is initiating a program similar to that in which he personally invested a great deal of time and effort. Also, Mr. Woods should be informed that Tom Torlakson was a cross country coach and runner before he became involve in politics. Just another thing they have in common... - futhark Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:59:01 +0100
