JULY 2, '08

After teaching for more than 38 years I am retiring. This is something
I would rather not do, but find it necessary to both
maintain sanity and the standards I have tried to inculcate to the
students and faculty I have worked with for this time.

Hopefully, at some point, the majority of parents will finally
realize that education can only be fulfilled for them and their
children when they insist on not blaming teachers, and taking an
active interest in cutting out the nonsense of bureacracy and
accept the simple standards of quality along with the responsibility
of holding those values to themselves and to their children.
