Last Dance: My Day of Retirement

​The music has stopped, the getting up early, running to and fro will now become regulated instead of routine…

Time clocks have no more power here…

Bosses/Principals have no more power here…

Limited and regulated teaching have no more power here…
​
Last Dance … Forty years of hearing the same music on the same Dance Floor…

​Forty years of fighting educational standards that were designed to fail instead of promote…

Forty years of shadow teaching and reaching countless souls that were in need of guidance, in need of truth about self and life…

Last Dance … No more watching reachable children become unteachable children, because of mis-education and policies that stifle growth and creativity…

Last Dance … Saying goodbye to schedules, supervisors, friends and foes, who will all miss my flow and glow…

Last Dance … New Music on the horizon, new dance floor in view…

Paid my entry fee with my time, my talents and ability to reach and teach so many…

The Music has stopped, the routines no longer have power…

Can’t even hear the band because I no longer give a Damn…
​
Sound mind, sound body, now I can reach and teach Everybody!
