A Little About Me...

[Valentine's]

Hi, my name is Patty

...I am 31, single and have no children. I am a former children's computer lab instructor and have my BA in Education from The University of Arizona. I have to say the education system is not what it used to be. The poor politics and lack of resources, materials and administrative support are unbelievable. In the meantime, I look forward to pursuing new interests and other career endeavors. I may go back to school to complete a Master's in Social Work, Education Technology or get my Network Admin certification or paralegal certification. As you can tell, I have many interests, ultimately I would like to marry and raise a family. After being in the educational system I plan to stay home with my children rather than work. I have seen too many children with problems because they don't get enough attention at home. I have seen too many problems with daycare facilities and latchkey programs. I would not want to put my children through any of them. I am grateful I never had to go through any of them myself. Most recently I have been working for a Charter School. Believe me, they are not the improvement to education that we need. They boast of academic excellence, smaller class sizes, yet they don't provide the resources needed, they overcrowd the classrooms and don't care if you are certified or not, just as long as they have enough students to collect state aide. I think more money needs to go into the existing public schools we currently have, higher educational standards need to be placed, as well as higher behavioral and social standards. People wonder what is wrong with education today or children today, from my experiences in the educational field, it is not the teachers, but the lack of professional and administrative support and the lack of resources they are given, along with the low pay they are given. You can't expect high quality people to continue to go into education, when you treat the people who go into the profession like blue-collar workers or less. Well, I guess that's enough on that topic. I'm just a bit irritated by it all right now. Write me if you have similar experiences or comments related to our educational system, particularly charter schools. As you may have figured out...I am from Arizona. I enjoy working on my computer, teaching computers, hiking, biking, going out dancing and meeting nice people. Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you enjoy my web site and links!! See you again soon!!!
