I have two sons teaching. One science, other math and both teaching 8th grade. One is Minn, one in Wisc. They both are getting real close to retirement and both did other jobs before teaching. Math teacher worked accounting for Arthur Anderson for about 3 years. Science teacher worked locally with DNR, lumber yard etc.
At first, teaching seemed to go quite well. The one who worked local would tell the other teachers he made more starting out than his dad made working over 25 years as a mechanic. Now days he is totally wanting to get it done and over with.
Things are not going well in Wisc and we have some serious disagreements with the reasons for it. I believe the teacher unions were so totally unwilling to negotiate reasonable contracts that the rest of the population blame the teachers and it put everyone at each other's throat. He doesn't see it that way. I even went so far as to look up the teachers union leaders and the dollars they are making. No need to complain about corporate exec pay checks. Lets just say they get a whole lot more than the teachers they are supposed to be representing.
Our former governor, Arnie Carlson, was endorsed by the teachers union. After he took office, he tried to negotiate with the union on upcoming contracts and just threw up his hands. He said it was their way or nothing. So, it turns out nothing in a lot of cases. Around here, teachers and farmers are usually at each other's throats. Me, working for and with farmers and having two sons teaching, puts me in a lot of situations where I have to just bite my tongue. There is always two sides to every story.

An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let’s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
