Well, this blog has been dormant for quite a while. God has been doing some very important work in my life. It's time to re-enter the blogosphere, and reflect on life, share my insights and wisdom a bit more publicly.
Here's the nugget of the day:
Student type #1: Students that are forced to be there and don't want to be.
Many K-12 students.
Student type #2: Students that are forced to be there, but enjoy it, want to be there, and take it seriously.
In K-12, these are rare, but not "extinct".
Student type #3: Students that want to be there (learn).
I spent 24 years teaching K-12. Now, I teach in Alternative Education in Dinuba Unified School District. This means I work at Sierra Vista Continuation High School, Ronald Reagan Independent Study, and Dinuba Adult School. (I like to say that I get to do my favorite things at each of the three schools. More on that in another post.)
The Adult School part of my job is distinct and fulfilling because they always want to be there. The students have personal goals and are ready to maturely pursue them. This makes teaching them a joy.
I'm content where God has placed me. I'm taking opportunities like this to do what my Grandma's favorite verses, Philippians 4:8, and 1 Thessalonians 5:18, advises us - think about good things...things to be thankful for.

These are the ones that all teachers love to have.
Teaching Adult School is almost exclusively #3.

Outside bets usually have smaller payouts with higher odds at winning. Except as noted, all of those bets 코인카지노 lose if a zero comes up. Unlike at conventional roulette casinos, the bonuses right here aren’t as direct as one would count on. As plain as this sounds, we truly really loved the simplicity right here, and the flexibility to see all of the bets of your fellow players – chat included – creates a nice atmosphere.
