It has been a long time since I have posted on my blog.  Last February, I was approached by a group of friends who were passionately concerned about their children's education.  As a result, my business partner and I founded a charter school.  George Washington Academy is a back-to-basics school where we still pledge allegiance to the flag, sing patriotic songs, teach handwriting, teach phonics and a sequential math that doesn't muddy the waters.  We have science, history, geography, and other social studies in an integrated, thematic format.  Our sixty-five children are happy and are learning.

I am the principal, school counselor, and I teach a class of fourteen fifth graders, five sixth graders, and two seventh graders.

Needless to say, by the end of the day, I am beyond tired.  After all, I am seventy years old!  The children wear me out yet fill my well so completely that I love each and every one of them.

I am truly blessed.
