New Job!!

Ken accepted a new job yesterday and we are thrilled about the opportunity. He will be working for a company that provides education for at risk students. When the school systems can not keep the students in class due to emotional or behavioral issues they pay this company to provide the education for them. You can check it out at Education Alternatives Ken has been working on his M.Ed in Special Education with a desire to work with troubled youth so this will be perfect. He will be gaining experience while he finishes his school and then will get promoted from within as a certified teacher. The good news for Ken is academics is not the primary focus. Although they are teaching and helping the students meet their graduation requirements they also provide therapy for them. They have counselors on campus and one of Ken's jobs will be conducting group sessions working on life skills, dealing with emotions, and assisting them in relationships. The principal even told him they sometimes have to put academics on hold because it won't matter if the kids can multiply if they can't get along in the world. This is right up Ken's alley.
