Made my program very progressive, very academic, and very multi-cultural.

The kids were learning rudimentary math using coin. Five different languages (English, Patwa, Mandarin Chinese, International Sign Language, and Spanish). African history, African art, African dance. Introduction to computers. We were ahead of public school kindergartens. Five of my 20 kids got into private, Catholic elementary schools.

Never prouder of my service as a teacher.

I grew up in a fairly diverse community, it's not so diverse in the North Country where we moved when I was in high school Rhiannon12866 Mar 28 #6
