Todd R. Nelson is an interesting guy! He's been a public and private
school English teacher and administrator for 29 years, in schools in
Cambridge, San Francisco, Chicago and Maine. He is principal at the
Adams School in Castine, Maine, a 54 student K-8 school on the town
common in a little town on the coast, where he gets to play four-
square at recess, play his bagpipes, and write musicals for the all-
school play.

Enjoy the essay and - please - share it with educators and parents!
