James Madison H.S. is a co-educational and diverse city school of 9th to 12th graders. I teach a large population of "special" students as well as average students. I teach three basic art classes (required) and two painting classes (elective). I enjoy it very much no matter the challenges I face everyday. We support each other wholeheartedly. I believe that a good education not only begins with good teachers and caring ones, but also the necessary and proper materials to teach with. Using copy paper is just not good enough for painting on. Good watercolor paper is essential for good work, etc. Our students and every child deserves a quality education and quality materials are an important component to that. "Action is Eloquence, by, W. Shakespeare does exemplify the very essence of what I am saying. Children are shown how "Eloquent" they really are through the actions of their teachers! And, I believe that our school works hard at showing each student that.
