Margaret , I also did the City and Guilds Teaching Certificate Qualification in Adult Education ( classes at Sandy Lane and the old Grammer School on Blackburn Rd. ) never used them in the formal classroom situation , but where ever I've lived and worked have tried to pass on my knowledge of the subject , its not an ego thing ...its just passing knowledge on to the next generation wether they be Zambians,Rhodesians,Congalese, Iranians, Saudis ,Thai, Fillipino, or American , all young folks who want to make a better life for their family
To me it's just a normal thing for someone to do , pass on the education we were lucky on to get to the next generation , never really gave a thought to the young guy if he was called Ahmed, Winston, or Jesus , I was more concerned if he could get a weld though an X-ray weld inpsection than who he put the penies in the plate for , just so he could provide a plate of food for his family.
And its been my experiance that 'young' folks don't mind learning from us old wrinklies, they try to give us the attitude , but if you 'slap' them down they get the notion you are interesed and they take notice and show an interest , the problem is we can create the artisans/craftsmen/jouneymen, but we can't create the jobs for them to fill
