About me
Welcome to the GreatSchools community! Tell us about yourself to start building your profile.
I have a colorful employment history. My last career endeavor was teaching, which I loved until they socialized education with the "no child left behind act" and the government testing. I have children and grandchildren and my youngest son was recently awarded a scholarship to college. When my children were younger, I was involved in PTA, a PTA president, school incentitives and school issues. http://advocateforthetruthineducation.schools.officelive.com/default.aspx recommended viewing: http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/66
