Nlr-anwhile, quietdown Although many students were aware oi the Child Learning Lab, most were not aware of its actual purpose The ROP Child Learning Lab actually had two purposes, The first and most important was to teach basic skills ot pre-school teaching to high school students. The second purpose was to provide a quality pro- gram in which the preeschoolers were allowed to explore and learn through play. The Child Learning Lab tried to provide such an environ- ment. One might ask, What exactly did students do in this program? The students usually came in for one period a day, sometimes two, and worked as aides to the teachers. Their duties ranged from learning to superg vise activities to cleaning up lunch messes. Although students worked hard, they felt it was well worth their time. Commented Kelly Townsend, It was one of the best classes I ever tookfi Child Learning Lab!Brokers and Their Business 55

Wanted: Cheap Labor Can you think of a garage anya A where that would charge you noth- ing for labor, only for parts? Auto shop was one such place. Teachers, students, or anybody could take their car into Auto Shop and have it fixed for a very minimal fee. The only c drawback was that it took a little bit A longer because the students only worked on it for one period a day. Students just didn't start out work- ing on cars, For the first two years of Auto Shop, it was mostly book assignments. Only in Auto 3 84 4 were students actually allowed to work on live projects. The Auto Shop pro- gram was very structured. It started out with a student who didn't know anything about cars and taught him the basics - safety, automotive thee ory, tools, and shop practices, just to name a few. As the student became more advanced, he was allowed to work on cars. Students took this class for various reasons. Commented Mr. Victor Kim tinstructorj, l've come across stu- dents who take this class just for the sake of taking it. They take it because they like to work on cars. Appar- ently this was the case with at least one student, Kevin McGill, I took Auto Shop just for the class. l'm not planning on making it my career, I just take it for my enjoymentff Q ATIGHTENING UP THE LAST FEW BOLTS, Tim Only the more advanced students were allowed Buchanan finishes up one of his Auto projects. to workon live projects .
