Often teachers today complain about students and what can be done to make them want to learn and behave in school. Many teachers are at a loss for what to do in the classroom and how do really effectively reach the students. Too many teachers are more concerned with what the Administration wants rather than what the students need.

The fact of the matter is if teachers today would focus more on the students and managing their classroom they would have no need to be concerned about the Administration because that is what they are looking for. The Administration contrary to common belief is on the side of the teachers and is the agent of support – not the union. The administration knows and understands the needs of the students. Further, the Administration has a global perspective of how to run a school and its programs that the average classroom teacher does not. The teachers need to seek out the advice and support of their Administrators. It is far better to go to the aid of your principal than to rely on school codes and bylaw. You will have success working with the principal whereas your footing is never sure when dealing with the letter of the law and parties that stand behind them.

What makes the classroom management successful is to link boundaries with protocol. It is the protocol that is missing in today’s classroom. The current educational environment is far too casual and loose in its methodology to give students the best that education has to offer. Much effort on behalf of modern school systems has been spent on devising methods for getting students to perform better, score better, and behave better in school.

The answer to good classroom management does not lie in tomes of rules, bylaws, and regulations of the School District; it lies firmly between the teacher and the students under the guidance and vision of an instructor that understands classroom boundaries with protocol.

I was born and raised on the south side of Chicago in Hyde Park Township, near the University of Chicago. As I child I was always drawing and painting. My father owned an art supply company, Favor Ruhl & Watson, where I was able to get all that I needed to progress in my work.

I have always enjoyed portraiture and landscape painting. In High School (Naperville Central High School) I took Drafting from Mr. Pierce. I quickly grasped the principles of perspective and drafting and hence made a career with both Fine Art and Architectural Renderings.

In the mid 1970's I joined the US Navy and was stationed on board the USS Midway, CV-41. The Midway was home ported in Yokosuka, Japan (A suburb of Tokyo). While in service I traveled all over Asia including such countries as Korea, China, Philippines, Singapore, Pakistan, Hong Kong, and Japan. While in Japan I learned Japanese. I speak German and Spanish as well.

I am an omnivorous reader with a love of History and Philosophy. I admire the works of Immanuel Kant, Albert Schweitzer, and Fredrich Nietzsche.
