Learning lessons from a father's pride in his son

Here is an Los Angeles Times article written about one of our very own in ABC. Congratulations to Patrick Gordon, a teacher at Gahr High School and the 2012 winner of the JaimeEscalante Advanced Placement Award. With the many attacks on teachers these days it was refreshing to hear Patrick's story. In a time where many of the day to day duties of teaching are scripted it was important that they quoted Patrick stating that, "There's no one teaching approach that works." 

A thanks to all teachers, who like Patrick toil day to day for their students' futures.
