She Made Trips
to all the Jr High Schools
that Fed Kids into
the Sr High School
where she worked.
Took Several 1000
Sugar, Raisin, Walnut,
Oatmeal, Choco Chip
cookies (Her kids made Extra)
to Feed 500 High
School kids at a time.
While she Showed
them Slides and talked
about what they would
Learn to Cook If they
signed up for Home Ec
Cooking Class in Sr High.
Result?
Job Security.
While all other
Home Economics
Programs in
Maryland were Failing.
My Mom - as Home
Ec Dept Chairman -
Filled every Class
of hers and The
Other Home Economics
Teachers Classrooms
to Over-Flowing.
More PROOF You
Can't Learn to Be
An Entrepreneur in
Public School...
NOT ONE Teacher
asked, "Why are all
Your Classrooms
Bulging with kids
and ours are Empty?
Hi Glenn,
It does take a different kind of thinking to be an entrepreneur!
Imagine how great the country would be if even more people learned entrepreneurship!
Your Mom was one smart cookie (pardon the pun)!
What an ingenious way to fill her classes... I can see now a little bit where you get some of your own ingenuity from...!
Thanks Glenn... I thoroughly enjoyed the story, and the profound lesson too! :)
Best wishes,
Dien
