I’m all for this type of thing.
A friend of mine teaches construction skills at a prison. It sounds like a total joke of a program because it’s maintained by the state board of education, not private industry.
The board of education expects him to earn a Masters Degree within a certain period of time because that’s what teachers do, not because it will be of any benefit at all to him or his students.
He’s been a carpenter for 20 years. That’s your degree.
I am sure your friend is a great teacher and I hope it helps some guys when they get out.
As far as public school teachers, the ones i’ve known had IQs up there with bricks and asbestos
