About me
Welcome to the GreatSchools community! Tell us about yourself to start building your profile.
I am a parent and a teacher. I have been involved in education for many years and have successfully navigated the rough seas of high school. I am currently write a blog for the website http://www.morethangrades.com on topics of concern to parents, and I also contribute to their monthly parent newsletter. As a teacher and a parent, I feel I have a unique perspective on the issues facing both groups. Along with the Co-Founders of the site MoreThanGrades, (both of whom are juniors at NYU) I hope to provide parents with guidance and timely information.
