Extraordinary Inspiration!

I am often asked why I would work in such a "dangerous" place as Paterson, NJ? Well to be honest my entire teaching career I have taught in mostly such places. And I can tell you they are NEVER what they seem on the outside. Here is what I see when I get to work at one of my many favorite schools in Paterson, NJ. 

I know I see the world through a rose-colored lens, but I will tell you, I love where my eyes live, don't you? By the way THANK YOU Ms. Aramayo (giant Einstein) and Ms. Mandal (flamingos for Puerto Rico and color theory math stairs). You always make my day! I think every student and every one in general should have a chance to compare the insides of something to the outsides of something. And repeat. 

Don't you agree?
