That is just great, and very gloat-worthy. I've heard Target donates

What process did you / somebody in the school district follow to get the donation?

Mike Brown

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. :(

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.

Thanks for the clarification ... you had me worried there. :)

Good job!
