About+Me

I live in 100 Mile House -- high plateau cattle country -- with my husband and youngest son. Our three older children are grown. We really enjoy country life: hiking, camping, small town sports and hunting (the menfolk, anyway : ) We've been here twenty years now, in the same big old house that wants a few thousand dollars and a decorator's hand.

Our time in the Cariboo marks my time in the teaching profession too; first, in a local Christian school (disbanded now) and then with Anchor Academy. Whether in the classroom or online, I've always worked with young teens and feel that I know them well. They are in transition, experiencing the heights and depths that transition entails. They do not generally love bookwork. They are interesting.

Over the years, our own children have variously homeschooled, attended private school, and also attended public school, depending on a gazillion factors, all weighed and prayed over. At least now there are options. When I was growing up, there was no such thing as homeschooling -- at least, that I was aware of. What extraordinary changes we are witnessing in the world of education! I wonder what lies ahead.
