Class experience
US Grade 9 - 10
~Now leading conversations for 10 & 11 year olds, 12,13 & 14 year olds and for 14, 15 & 16 year olds.~ Ever pledge allegiance?

Learners should be prepared to view troubling images- although these images are not displayed without advanced warning. Parents should also be prepared to continue discussing these sensitive topics at home and are welcome to reach out to me for help with this as needed.
Why not use the momentum of memory- or lessons of the past- to make a better future? I write to you from my Carolina home where I am reading, listening and talking about the past, present and future. Although I am sometimes saddened, I mostly...
