James Gibson, Industrial Arts Teacher
Me and My Job
Physical job
I'm on my feet close to 80% of the day so my job is a probably a lot more physical than most teaching jobs. Most of the day I spend running around, lifting a lot of wood and other heavy materials and moving them.
It's not a job where I can sit back and watch students work. Many students aren't confident enough to pick up a saw and make it cut. I have to be over them making sure that things are done safely and correctly.
