Welcome to the third pageWelcome to the third pageI've taught in Canada,
South Korea and in Indonesia.
I've taught writing,software and English as a Second Language. My students have been younger than six and as old as sixty.
Teaching is exciting, frightening, fulfilling and frustrating. When you enjoy it there's no better job in the world.
When you hate it, it's a physically and mentally draining nightmare.
If you're just in it for the money, WAKE�UP!
There are easier ways to earn money.
Teachers are not the best paid workers in the world.

Case in Point
A young man dies and goes to Heaven, where he finds he is third in line at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter is taking a much-needed break, so an angel is admitting the newly arrived to Heaven.
The angel tells the three new arrivals that because so many drug dealers and other criminals have managed to sneak into Heaven that St. Peter must now be a little stricter with the screening process. Each person is required to state his former occupation and tell his or her yearly salary.
The first man in line says, "I was an actor, and I earned $1 million last year."
The angel says, "Okay, you may enter." He turns to the woman in line and asks her about her life.
She states, "I earned $150,000 as an attorney." The angel thinks for a moment and then lets her in, too.
He turns to the third one in line and asks, "What have you done with your life?"
The man replies, "I earned $8,000 last year . . ."
"Oh," the angel interrupts. "What did you teach?"
There are very few highs to equal getting an idea across to a single student, or a group of students. When you have a student present a concise, well-thought presentation you feel that all the effort has meant something.
I invite you to join a traveler on a quest through time and space and that distant corner of reality, the human soul.
