Introduction I'm a teacher. I haven't always been a teacher. I used to have a real job that payed a decent salary, but I quit because I thought I could make a difference. I have discovered that I can't...but I'm not going to let that stop me.
Interests The state of public education in this country is antiquated and ineffective for what our children will need to be successful. The whole system needs to be scrapped and started over.
Favorite Movies Real Genius, Jaws, anything by Mel Brooks
Favorite Music 80's new wave, disco, Fergie
