    Owner. I take orders and deliver and pick up moving boxes and supplies. I do the paper work. I do the advertising. I sweat a lot.

  Responsive Education

    • Lewisville, TX and Dallas

    Again, excellent students, teachers, principals, and middle schools.. Administration - not so much - but they got me where I am today, so good on 'em. I taught three subjects at two middle schools after my last school closed down, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.And this is the only date I'm straight on. Danged if I'm going to think back and pinpoint years. People can do math and know I'm 35 or somethin', and who needs that?

    Taught three grades of English. Wonderful students, wonderful teachers, wonderful principal, wonderful school, weasel owner. This was a charter school and we really thought we were building something, but we were lied to by an owner taking a hefty salary, and the school went down.

  • Algebra and English Teacher

    • Aug 1905 - Jun 1915

    Taught Algebra I one year when I found that that was a way to get into a school with air conditioning. After that I taught sophomore and junior English. I enjoyed the students, but the system was not very smooth.
