Even when I&#8217;m home I&#8217;m working. At school, I am teaching classes, meeting with students (before and  after class, and during lunch), counseling with [...]]]></description>

Legally, he was right. A student cannot be compelled to say the Pledge. However, he does have to stand because that&#8217;s considered a school [...]]]></description>

This summer I spent some time in Paso Robles, visiting the wineries, and I had the dubious pleasure of driving State Route 46, a major crossing of the Coast Ranges, which essentially connects Cambria and Paso Robles with the San Joaquin Valley farther east. If this stretch of highway isn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

In the thirty years since my undergraduate days in Florida, there has been a seismic shift in the way students conduct research, find primary and secondary sources, gather and store information, and write their papers. I’m certainly grateful I had the [...]]]></description>

Mr. Fasano jumps for joy.

It&#8217;s fun to ride the Claremont trolley, but at a cost of over $300,000 a year the city has decided that&#8217;s money better spent somewhere else. What they should have done is devised a better route than the [...]]]></description>

Ah-ha! Will Crutchfield argues his point during a debate in Ms. Hunley&#8217;s class period. The class was also used for research, note-filing, and practice before tournaments.
I found this photograph in the Warwick High School yearbook of 1975. A friend of mine way back then in Newport News, VA, was Will Crutchfield, who grew up [...]]]></description>
