My Philosophy of Education

Every student has potential.  It is a teacher's job to help every student tap into that potential.  It is every student's responsibility to engage and participate.

Every student has the ability to squander that potential.  It is a teacher's job to do all that they can to discourage that from happening.  It is the student's responsibility to be sure that it does not happen.

No student has the right to interfere with another student's right to achieve their potential.  It is the student's prerogative to assist fellow students in achieving their potential.

It is the teacher's responsibility to present the "who?", "what?", "where?", and "when?"  Then it is the teacher's  responsibility to guide the students into learning to determine and answer the "hows?", "whys?", and "what ifs?"  It is the student's responsibility to strive to achieve, comprehend, and master the knowledge and skills.

Attending a four year college is not a requirement to become a successful, happy and productive member of society.  There are other avenues.  That is why I work at Upper Valley JVS.
