 As a teacher of 30 years experience I can see the skills diminishing by the hour.  When i were a lad, i went to Reid Kerr college (Paisley FE ) for practical skills as part of my engineering degree.  Above the door to all the craft workshops stood a sign " let no man enter here who would deny craftsmanship" that stuck with me.  I absolutly did my best and put my best into every single project so I could show it off with pride" i made this" .  The bureaucracy has killed off pride and replaced it with "evidence".We are craftsmen not policemen.  TAKE A PRIDE IN YOUR WORK. let the pupils have a pride in their work ,do not hide it in cupboards.
