What TV shows did you watch as a kid? It’s amazing how sometimes we subject ourselves to things, situations, and events that are disagreeable to us. I used to watch the Tom and Jerry cartoon despite disliking each of those characters? I suppose that was a way to […]

What makes a teacher great? I have to admit that I benefitted greatly from wonderful teachers who worked hard, were not paid much, but invested plenty in me. Interestingly, I had more fruitful personal teacher interactions when I went to public school versus when I went off to […]
