I want to do something big with my life, cause I think I have a responsibility to help as many people as I can. Like it says in Spiderman: with great power comes great responsibility, that has been the moto of my life, and I think now is the time to change things, The world is just waiting for the catalist. Did you read in War in Peace where Tolstoy says great leaders ride the cresting waves of momentous social change. Education has to change. Salman Khan has now taught more than 36 million lessons.

finding new parks all the time to play at

Love you sweetheart, how are your letters going to the other Universities? I’d go ahead and send them even though Nebraska said you needed the two other Math courses. Perhaps some of the other colleges count more from your Actuary tests. Or, perhaps they have another need in their college for a different math course to be taught that might not require the extra courses. Doesn’t hurt to find out I guess.

If you get a chance to teach math in Sacramento you could put off those studies at Stanford until you finish the school year; they may still have some other studies going on; hopefully that are paid or free. They didn’t say how much they pay, but I suspect that it is not nearly $450 a week, or certainly not as much as teaching in Sacramento High School. I am sure the studies would be very enlightening and make you feel much more free and peaceful with yourself. It’s hard to explain what it really does for you but somehow it takes things you have always known and puts them to bed so they no longer have a negative affect on your life, it is sorta like you have been set free from certain hangups, But it is sorta of an emotional ride you take even though almost everything you discover that helps it also feels like you have always known that but suddenly have a different perspective, or it no longer has an emotional hold on you, It is not what someone tells you, it is something you just suddenly feel and know. The nice thing is that in all the goofs we made, you always knew we loved you with all our hearts beyond anything else in the world. It was so much fun and such a wonderful adventure reading many books everyday and talking and playing and taking you & Paul to all the parks, aquarium, the little animal farm, the zoo & petting zoo, Lawrence Hall of Science & Palace of Fine arts for discovery and a million, zillion other things, sometimes I think I had just as much fun as you did. Remember how we would just pack up after you guys got home from school and go have barbeque pork picnics; or how we would drive all over finding new parks all the time to play at. Then, of course, when we moved here and all the wonderful fun (and hard work on Christmas trees) you guys neither one, ever complained, even once, ever, about the work or even once had to be asked to do it , just like mowing the lawn at Panama for Comic books! What fun, what a wonderful childhood you guys had for all of us!!! In fact, I think I had just as much fun in your childhood as I did in my own! Not that childhood was any sweeter than your grownup years, you couldn’t make us more proud or happy. We love you so, and miss you always, but we are very happy that you are doing what you think is right for your future, that’s very important, hopefully it will be a very long, long happy future. Love you! But you are going to have to come home a little while and collect some of your million clothes so you don’t have to replace them to go to work or school, That would cost as much as an airline ticket!

Conversaciones Amistosas | informal y relajada

Hey did you ever think about mentoring any high school kids? You can ask around ucb to hear all the career benefits of mentoring. Hey i have some really good friends who are high school juniors and seniors at Vallejo High again ask around ucb about the career benefits of helping vallejo high kids. Mentors don’t have to teach you just give advice about academic careers

My Education:

Touro University, California Teaching Credential 2009

My Teaching Philosophy:
Classroom management and interpersonal social skills are necessary prerequisites for teaching a class. In primary school grades those skills are enough. In high school a teacher also must have expertise in their subject mater. NCLB is a reaction to a pervasive attitude that it is enough for a teacher to be able to manage a peaceful structured classroom. Classroom management can give the appearance of leaning, but to teach math, a person must also be an expert in math.

Textbooks are a useful reference tool for leaning math but they do no replace organized structured lectures. Lectures are the best tool to learn math. The best organized, most powerful lectures on math are available to anyone with an Internet connection for free. Group classroom activities are also a powerful tool for leaning math, especially when they are structured around a well organized PowerPoint presentation, students participate by guessing and explaining the next step in solving the math problem in the PowerPoint presentation, The classroom teacher pushes the slide control button and referees the classroom discussion. I have written hundreds of interactive PowerPoint presentations for algebra, and 44 of my best are available to teachers for free on my website http://www.Technologyisforkids.com

Creativity and diversity are truly strengths, but only when they are freed from constraints to find new and different avenues to success and excellence.
Technology can free all students to follow individualized goals and educational plans and achieve a successful life.
Without individualized goals and educational plans, competition always produces winners and losers.
An educational system that truly values diversity and individual choice can make every student a winner.
American history has proven that freedom and opportunity can always out-compete any planned society.

My graduate school criterias:
My thinking is that some schools have a math requirement for all undergraduates. For a big school like Arkansas, that means 30000 undergraduate math students which means they need to field hundreds of math teachers every year, so they use graduate student instructors. Seems to me from the research I have done, that they structure their graduate math programs to meet the needs of their undergraduate math requirement. It looks to me like they are just trying to get some capable calculus and pre-calculus teachers to come teach there for $13000 a year salary, so they throw in free tuition and a pathway to earn a graduate degree. I think I would have the most competitive advantage applying to a school with that kind of system, because I think they would value my teaching experience more than a school that is totally focused on publishing original research to build its reputation and ability to attract big dollar government research projects. I am interested in a top 100 ranked math PhD program.

Thank you:

Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. I hope you will be able to comment on my life-plan and offer me some advice. I value a continued relationship with you and hope to hear back from you at your convenience. Thank you so much.

  Vallejo High School 2009, from my favorite class of all time, my friend Perla. Yea see the triangles, but no this wasn’t geometry homework it was just a gift. This was the class that gave me a watch and a letter of thank you. How cool is that, when I showed my dad the watch he started crying. — with Sumanjit Kaur Johaland 14 others.

massively overvalued

Hey Bill, me and 260 thousand other California school teachers are laid off, I’m busting ass trying to study for the GRE next month, 5 years at Berkeley and 10 years in public relations and I still can’t write a English paragraph to save my life; luckily there are about a million youtubes on how to write a regulation essay. Hey, if I send you a current resume do you think you could write me a college recommendation from my year at Wellpoint modeling claims? Hey I’m planning to head down to Texas Tech to interview in late October, do you think there is any chance you could give me a couple of sailing lessons, or is it too cold for sailing in October? Hey I don’t see any recent pictures on your facebook, did your life stop or are you just ignoring all of us? Hey, what’s your theory about the economy, I saw in the Journal how Switzerland devalued their currency, they announced that it was, “massively overvalued”. My theory is that America’s ruling oligarchy needed a cheaper dollar to compete against Europe so they allowed the Tea Party radicals to stage the debt default and bring our credit rating down comparable to most other countries’.

pension bashing going on

hi cousin, hey, I have a teacher question, I’m still laid off, hey I am about a year shy of vesting in STRS, what are your thoughts, with all the pension bashing going on out there how important do you think it is to get vested sooner than later, I want to try to go back to graduate school until the economy recovers. What do you think, how important is it to get one more year teaching before I head off to Texas for 5 years of graduate school? On another subject, How the hell are you! Hope things are going well for you. I saw your mom the other day, she was one of my favorite people when I was a little kid, it was always a big event in my life when we would drive down to visit you all. I had not really thought about her for years, you know how it is, out of sight, out of mind, but seeing her again reminded me how much I like her, now since she is fresh in my mind,  I seem to think about her every day.It’s funny how a person’s life takes them away from the past and then circles back again.  Love you

big dollar government research projects

My thinking is that some schools have a math requirement for all undergraduates. For a big school like Arkansas, that means 30000 undergraduate math students which means they need to field hundreds of math teachers every year, so they use graduate student instructors. Seems to me from the research I have done that they structure there graduate math programs to meet the needs of their undergraduate math requirement. It looks to me like they are just trying to get some capable calculus and pre-calculus teachers to come teach there for $13000 a year salary, so they throw in free tuition and a pathway to earn a graduate degree. I think I would have the most competitive advantage applying to a school with that kind of system because I think they would value my teaching experience more than a school that is totally focused on publishing original research to build its reputation and ability to attract big dollar government research projects.

advice and ideas

Hi everybody, hope everyone there is doing well. Hey I’m looking to go back to college for a graduate math degree, I’m signed up to take the GRE test next month so I’m studying hard for it and I hope I will do well. Hey, can I ask you guys for some help in making a plan to go to graduate school. My top 3 choices are Texas Tech, U. of Arkansas and Iowa State. I want a top 100 math graduate program in a school that needs a lot of graduate student instructors because I think I will have a competitive admission advantage because of my high school teaching experience. I’d be more specific about what kind of help I am asking you for but I don’t really know what I need. I think what I really need is advice and ideas.

California Closing Down Public Education

I got your comment about unemployment job training benefits, I have not been able to get edd to pay for my BCLAD credential, which is what I want to study for. They approved me for $4000 to get a class A truck driving license. They said there was no future in school teaching and I should train for something that I have a hope of getting a job doing. EDD’s official position seems to be that public education will not be continued in California in the way that it has been until now. I guess with the new state budget the way it is they may be right. It is so sad to think of school changing to part time and with optional attendance. I don’t know what the kids will be doing all day on their own with their parents at work. I think America is truly falling into last place in the world for public education. Hey if you need any more tips about the EDD scholarships let me know, also, if you are able to get them to pay for improving your credential I would like to hear about it cause I have not given up hope of staying in public school education.
