I began teaching at ICS many years ago, and I have recently had the pleasure
of teaching a few children of former students.
Over the years there have been countless changes in textbooks, methods of
teaching, and the facility itself; however, some things remain much the
same. I have found middle schoolers to be energetic and sometimes frantic,
somewhat fragile, and genuinely eager to learn and share what they know.
I truly enjoy teaching middle schoolers. Their creative energy, enthusiasm,
and questioning minds make them both a challenge and a joy. They have
taught me a great deal in return.
Two of my grandchildren, who enjoy the ocean as much as I do, are pictured
above.
My hope is that students will gain a lifelong love of learning, will help
others and be willing to share what they understand, and will appreciate the
differences that make each of us unique.
