Miss Newson’s Opus.
This web page is a love letter, of sorts. Dedicated to all the students I have ever had the honor and privilege of having in class for the last 29.4 years. Whether you liked me or not, I love you. You have been my life’s passion. Much more than a vocation, you were a calling for me. Although sort of retired (it’s complicated) I’m not quite ready to let you go, though. I’d like to keep doing this if you don’t mind. Not a Newson fan? No problem. You are no longer required to be at the mercy of my medium. For those precious pupils that remember me and were pleased with my presence, stick around, there is more to come! A lot more! I love writing now that I’m not in school. Because you know me, I’m better off-topic. (R) So get ready for the Newson show: weird, crazy, silly, serious, smart, not so smart, sad, emotional cheeky, lascivious, and as a lover of learning words, a logomaniac. I’m going to talk a lot about myself. It’s uncomfortable, and seems narcissistic which- it might just very well be, I just want to take responsibility for my words and actions first hand. Capice? I am certain I’m going to offend many many of your peers and parents. Probably you too. I’ll take that. For you. Always for you. I’ve used a lot of movies and songs in class. I’d like to tell you more about it in this site. I hope you don’t mind all the references. I’m graduating from high school. No longer tied to restrictive classroom rules, I’m going rogue. Spelling? Grammar? Filter? Format? No Way! Not anymore. If your a fan of grammer you will cringe. (see what I mean?) But, I am going to write as much or as little as I want. When I want. So there. It’s the ideas that are important here. This is my Philosophical Playground. Recess is in in session.
It’s all free as learning should be. I try to give credit as often as I can. I am also not always going to leave links defending my point. Could be true, could be made up. At some point, think for yourself- you know that is what I have always want for you all!
There is a rating system here. T-school is for the very brave. It has been the thing I have been avoiding. It’s hard for me to stomach. Good luck. I-School will be more playful and more Books to be written are in the making. Not for profit. All for you, my life long students. My family! I miss you all
