Mr.Thorne has been teaching this class for 9 weeks. He has served 21 Years in the army as a mechanic. He has 2 kids, one in elementary School, and the other one started it next year. He has been the best teacher, from teaching us. How to wire a circuit board, soldered, compression test. We learn about blow head gasket symptoms, Timing and Valve Train,Smoke Diagnosis,Fuses and Relays, Suspension Systems, and Steering Systems, and Top-End vs Bottom-End Components and more. He has been hands on with the students and he been patient with them. Everyone loves him as a teacher, and The Gateway Principal, Penny Knight gave him the pink slip, it means they won't rehire him next year. We want him as a teacher next year, so please help us out. The next board of education meeting is Thursday, May 15, 2025, at 6 pm.
