Laporte county trade and technical schools offer the true old timer work ethic and brings back the good old days to the traditional education system in place in today’s world where you can’t even allow your child to walk home from school, even if its 2 blocks from your house. This has really gotten out of hand with the overprotection of children witch probably leads children that are not as well rounded and with their freedom restricted for so-called safety concerns end up never learning and experimenting and making mistakes that we need in order to learn for ourselves. The good old days from my childhood saw me picking in some trash cans, taking out people’s trash, selling stuff like lemon aid, candy door to door without any supervision and that gave me a tremendous drive in life to succeed. Ok got off on a little tangent there. Back to our introduction to the counties trade school offerings.
I’ll cover one last marker and its inscription then will update the site at a later date to include more information.
