Beginning a new chapter

Well I have restarted many things in my life. Now I will be gaining my independence once again in just a few short weeks. I am 44 and starting over has become a standard of life for me. But I admit it is getting more tiring and difficult all alone.

As I begin this new chapter I ALSO Am at the start of two new projects. One with J.D. Buckwell and another with Ryan Bianconi. The fist is purely a money project while the second has become a bit more. I will be starting a web presence for both soon and will announce them as they are ready

Achieving achedemic excellence these days

I am amazed these days when a parent tells me that they are mad at a teacher for not not taking extra time with their son or daughter. It seems that parents want to hand the responsibility off to another person for the education of thier kids. It wasn't long ago when school was optional and parents couldn't concieve of trusting another person with that very personal duty.

The job of a teacher is a sacred one. It requires a huge amount of patients and the ability to create trust with parents within a very short amount of time. In other countries teachers are revered and treated specially. why then in America does it seem that society has relegated the job of teaching to the same level as a fast food employee yet we still require any teacher to spend so much time preparing themselves for the job. And then pay them like the manage a corner hamber stand.

I don't get it but would love to hear any explanation at all.
