Greetings.  My name is David Libby and I am a homeschooling father of five that has taught in the public schools for the last 16 years. So to be honest, my wife has done the majority of the schooling at home; I'm just the principal. 

I'm unlike many of my professional colleagues  because I didn't go straight from high school to college to teaching.  I took a different path and enlisted in the United States Air Force. 
My last job in the Air Force was as a Historian for the F-117 Stealth Fighter. If you want to learn about airplanes and jet fighters, I'm your guy. 

Needless to say, I bring a wealth of experience to any classroom. I've coauthored a curriculum book about finances for kids and young adults. I've worked as a banker and trained briefly as a stock broker. I've flown faster than the speed of sound and I can still hit a baseball. I love flying kites and building model rockets.

My approach to learning is simple, I've created classroom learning systems that keep me and the students organized so learning can be efficient and fun. I believe in building background knowledge and front loading information first before moving to the more complicated material (essentially I scaffold). And lastly, I love to learn and I do my best to teach students and adults that life time learning is fun.
