I have decided to maintain this Blog for three purposes.

One, I wish to connect with the children of my school by joining in one of their favorite past-times, blogging on the "internet". I feel this will allow me to relate to them and therefore increase our understanding of each other. Undoubtably this will result in my being a more effective teacher for them.

Two, this venue will no doubt allow me to release some of the inevitable frustrations that accumulate during day-to-day life as the headmaster of a school for "gifted" youngsters.

Three, and perhaps most important, I can directly address some of the scurilous and baseless allegations leveled against me by my "students".
