- Education Is My Only Business.

I understand students, parents and teachers because I am a teacher, parent (now grandmother) and I work with students of all ages; Kindergarten, High School and Adults. I believe that all students have a right to learn.  I am most proud of my adult students who work hard all day and go to night school to learn English.
