A former IT geek, I have been a full time dad, gone through teacher certification, currently a substitute teacher, and am looking forward to earning my Master's Ed. in Best Practices. All during an economic crises where CA schools are looking at unprecedented cuts in funding.
In this blog it is my intention to provide information that will help parents feel more comfortable with public education; something I have gone through myself, being the parent of two children in public education myself. I have met a number of teachers as a parent, a substitute, and a student teacher. While the school system can be rather impersonal, the teachers and staff (in general) are caring adults who truly care about the students/children in their schools and classrooms.
In future posts, I will share some of my vague memories of elementary school, my impressions of what children want or need in school to be engaged, and how as parents we can make children's school the best possible.
