The kid really earned and deserved the "A." My closing comment was really
tongue in cheek. What I have found over the years that the kids who do best
in school, although there are exceptions, of course, come from a stable, two
parent family. There is something about the structure in the home that
helps the kids see the need to strive to succeed. This is generally true
whether it be academic or vocational. The kid has this, and it is obvious
that his father takes an interest in his son and in education. I firmly
believe that this helps explain why the kid does well in my class as well as
in his other classes.

One of the kids in my beginner class has a dad who works for Target. I
mentioned in class about another company that donated some things for pen
turning (blanks, mandrels, the works) and how appreciative I was. The
boy
mentioned it to his dad and evidently the dad thought that he could do
better. He talked to his superiors and they contacted me. BTW, the kid
got
an "A" in my class.

It was a great story ... until the last line.
