Pens made right here in Woodland By Matt Rexroad on Tuesday, July 24, 2007 @ 7:14 AM :: 1 Comments :: Blog   Check out this Woodland kid that is building a business out of making pens. What a great story.  He takes a woodshop class and turns it into a business at age 14.  This is why I love vocational education -- or whatever the term of the day is. This story makes my day.

Most children need practical skills to prepare for life after high school. Vocational education, along with physical education and visual and performing arts, need to be part of a balanced public school experience. You must be logged in to post a comment. You can login here
