Meridian ISD - Meridian, TX
August 2017 to Present
I re-entered teaching do to problems we were experiencing at our dairy. I quickly recognized that the school had science instruction, but had Almost no lab instruction for students. I quickly began a science lab Regimen of at least once a week. This has reinvigorated student interest In the sciences. I enjoy teaching, but it does not compensate a degreed, Educated scientist much for being in a classroom.
