I embarked on a career in education in August of 1982. Since then, I have taught students as young as 3 and as old as 50. I have taught preschool to grad school, science to linguistics to PE. I have taught in Maryland, Missouri, Oregon, and Tennessee; in China and in Thailand. I teach because I care. Teaching has always been my job; people are my passion.
Over the past 30 years, the face of education has changed a great deal, as have the students and the society. When I was growing up, students worried that their parents would talk to their teachers and they'd find out all of the monkey business they (the students) were up to. These days, it seems that teachers worry that the parents will talk to their students and the parents will complain to administrators and school board members about the 'monkey business' they (the teachers) are up to
The purpose of this blog is to provide me an outlet for opinions I've kept to myself the past 15 years or so. I will try to remain neutral; I will definitely remain impersonal; but I will be as honest with my opinions as possible.
Reader beware -- I am not, nor have I ever been -- politically correct.
