Biography
Always been bit rebellious, therefore came to "official" teaching
at the age of 45, returning to full-time study with 4 sons to raise
after I gave up on being a respectable married lady. Survived financially
by free-lance writing and running a riding school until I was appointed
to teach Standard 4 pupils, resigned after 4 months when I ended upon
the red carpet after giving an Afrikaans-speaking 9 year-old 150%
for his English reading which was equal to that of an English-speaking
teenager. Went back to writing and riding, raised my kids and set
out to single-handedly "conquer the system" which did not acknowledge
a kid's individual needs. No regrets. |
