Hi Scott, my name is Leon Avrech in San Jose, Calif. My wife and I visited Nashville and the Opry a few years ago. I am retired. I was a teacher, vice principal, and principal for a total of 37 yrs. in middle school. I have a passion to help new teachers. They will need help!! My book makes their school year so much easier with no surprises. The book "THINK YOU CAN TEACH? A SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHERS" begins on the first day of walking on campus to the end of year principal's evaluation. I am looking for ways to let teachers know about my book. $10 bucks for 37 yrs. experience. Now that's a deal. For a signed book, send $10 check to: CLASSROOM. P.O. BOX 36036 SAN JOSE CA 95158 Any of you reading this have ideas?? Would you please tell your staff, your principal, and head of instruction. We don't want teachers  to fail. Checks payable to Leon Avrech. I'll pay tax and shipping.

Boy, have I not been here in a while or what! I'm adding updating here to my to-do list for the week. Carry on!
