The Life class is taught by the family. It has nothing to do with the schools. Back in the 40s and 50s it was taught by parents, uncles, aunts, and older cousins. It also included courses on fishing, hunting, and trapping. Gardening was part of it too. In the shop classes at school, I learned to use power tools, welding, cutting, and woodworking. All that was passed along to my son, by me, his grandparents, his uncles and aunt.
It's too bad that "Life" has to include "Doing Taxes":gaah: JMHO.. Bill
Yes, we sure did...not only getting up to change the channel, but going outside to repoint the antenna. We received 2 1/2 channels. CBUT out of Vancouver BC, KVOS out of Bellingham Wash., and KCTS (sometimes) out of Tacoma Wash. then we needed another antenna to sometimes get KOMO and KING out of Seattle, Wash. this was back in the ‘50’s.
Who makes up all those nonsense names for drugs advertised on TV? They all seem to be a conglomerate of letters that make no sense. And, then they pronounce the name that usually doesn't sound anything like the spelling...... (At least the way I was taught 70+ years ago)
Another that applies to Spyder’s too?
