2008 Teaching at Freedom


My school has been built and stands as a beautiful symble of education. I am proud to have a grand school to teach in, and to be a parent of. This is the first year that Kristi will be attending school. Because I am a teacher here Kristi gets a first in to have a go at this chartered school with a private school atmosphere. I feel like the best education is being taught here. I have found that the work, and the educators here are similar, if not patterned after a prep school, or private curriculm. I am glad to have this academic oppertunity to give my children the very best chances to take part in the advances in student preperation. The feature photo is not the finished school. I am glad to say the lawn is in, and the school construction was completed in the last school year. We will have our first school year in a fully finished school. I often think about how fun it would be to retire from the same school I have seen from it's infancy. Togeather we will grow with excellence. I hope that many years will be spent here.

Today in Asia

In the news I have heard of violence rising against the China government, and in the protests there were monks first then it grew into a violent outrage against China. In my class today a student who visited Malasia for Chineese New Year showed a slide show of his trip. I had a great chance to speak with a native from Hong Kong (his dad) during the presentation. He said about the violence in Tibet, that the people of Tibet want the government control from the China nation to be turned over to the people of Tibet. He also said the protesters are the young people who want to make a government of their own. I am interested to know what others think. I have a concern for the people of Tibet. I want them to have control over the place they live. My main reason for this is to allow all people the chance to develope and grow to their greatest potential.
