tkt8763-01: Bob Hughes

["Amy Johnson" <amybjohnson@hotmail.com>]

I attempted to listen to the recording of Bob Hughes, I heard the majority 
of it, but it was very messed up.

>From hearing what it says it reminds me of what I heard the last 3 weeks.  I 
spent the last 3 weeks in a workshop that was in corporation with MSU and 
Peavey Electronics.  Three years ago Melia Peavey and Dr. Sandra Harpole 
developed the Learn to Work Workshop for Educators.  I spent a week actually 
touring the plants of Peavey Electronics in Meridian.  Every plant that you 
went into they would stress the importance of teaching basic skills and work 
ethics.  Many of todays jobs in industry require computer training because 
many are ran by computers.  But they also need someone who is able to read 
forms, add and subtract, and read a ruler.

I read an article that said the most high schools are college prep oriented 
but only 8% actually go to college or finish college.  So I ask what happens 
to the other 92% who do not go to college what does that leave them.

Here are some sites I thought you might like looking at:
http://www.peavey.com/html/learn_to_work.cfm
http://tm.ph.msstate.edu/lw/  (read the Project Rationale)

I also found this picture of Bob Hughes for those who haven't been able to 
find him.
