I just wanted to tell you that I have an excuse
for having all these different areas. You see when I began
teaching kids with behavior and educational challenges I had none
of these talents. I soon learned it was not enough to educate
my students, they needed to be transformed in many ways; how they
relate to themselves, education, peers, parents, society. I developed
these artistic tools-or talents as I attempted to find keys into
the hearts and minds of each of my students. As I became
better at teaching these areas--I became better myself.
I am a total advocate of the purposeful use of art, music and artistic
activities to reach not only challenged students, but all students. I
promise you that the results--have been, are and will be spectacular.
Meanwhile, my own life has become fuller and funner. Should
an educator use such a word as funner? I don't think so. I
might have to go back to school.
