No Child Left Behind? The True Story of a Teacher's Quest

I'm a former science teacher. My website lists various science activities for elementary students, if you're interested.

It also has page one of my memoir about teaching at-risk students in an inner-city high school.

I taught inner-city high school and dealt with gangs, drugs, riots, abusive principals, shootings, murders. It was rough. But I loved my job and my students!! Lots of obstacles. Some I overcame. Some I couldn't. If you like reading dramatic and inspirational teacher memoirs, you might like my book I wrote about these experiences. It's helped many teachers. No Child Left Behind?
