About Shirley James

There is nothing I love more than education regardless of how one chooses to define it. I see the world as a huge classroom and everyone I meet as a potential teacher or student. Now, you are craving something resembling an actual classroom with a real, live teacher. Even the prospect of homework does not sound too bad to you! It is time to sign up for some classes or maybe to take a more active role in your or your kids' education.
