Steve says to write more on my blog...so, Dear Diary...

since I've worked in alternative for 20 years I will talk a little about that. When I first moved to CA in 85, I was hired to work in a continuation school. I had never heard of one of those, but thought I'd like to live in CA for a year, packed my car with a few clothes and my stereo and drove out thinking I'd be back to the Midwest in a year...well, it's 2008, and besides a 4 year span away, I find myself still in CA. I grew up in a "leave it to beaver" style family, town, community, etc so working with at-risk kids was totally foreign to me. The funny thing is, I found I could connect with these kids and have a passion for working with them. After 20 years, I still like them! My frustration is with districts that don't fund the programs so that we can work with this population! That's education I guess...

Enough...now how do I add a video?
