Keith, that's exactly what I am trying to do.
I'm WAYYYY over due to start building my first Solar Panel.
Oztules has probably given up on ever seeing my results.
I have plans for him to HELP me build the oven and do the cells. He will be out of school real soon, so, maybe I can get him to come by more often. I don't pay him for this learning stuff, but, If-when he uses it, I emphasize that, "Now, you are gaining some skills, that make you more valuable". He thought he was doing great, when the other guy he works for, part-time, gave him 50 colonne raise. That's about .10 cents US. per hour
I tell him what I used to make, and, I don't think he believes me
This kid works for 800 colonnes or $1.60 per hour. I keep trying to tell him that is NOT good wages. Might be cutting my own throat, but, I really want to make SOME progress with one of these kids. They school, mostly 1-2 class rooms and 1-2 teachers, for 10 years. A LOT of them quit school in year 7-8 and work on the farms. Imagine cutting high pasture grass-weeds with a stinky Weed Whacker, for the rest of your life. Milking cows in still done BY HAND in a lot of farms. I'm talking ACRES of grass-weeds, not house lots.
Most people in the country, either work FOR a farmer (Dairy), or some other meaningless task. These kids are not stupid or dumb, they are just turned off to learning by the boring teachers.
When this kid comes over, I try to schedule a few minutes to show him a good video on the Internet, so he can SEE what's going on. Talking just doesn't get their attention. There mind wanders from the boredom factor.
EVERY time he comes over, I get "do anything new on the Bike"
I think I see a light starting to come on.
