Youtube url differences. It's fixable but would require a separate BB code tag.

Thanks for the knowledge... It was a matter of me not using the right tool for the job...

Looking at what my parents knew from college in the 50's I knew by middle school public schools were a joke. I was going to be woefully unprepared. From open classrooms of the 60's to a menu of useless electives in HS. 

Even in HS the trade classes were a joke. Just a place to park kids who weren't academically inclined basically "hands on babysitting". About anyone who graduated from the trades classes had to start all over in a accredited Trades Program from scratch. 

Alabama's Program is genius. 
It's long overdue.
