"Community colleges play an important role in helping people transition
between careers by providing the retooling they need to take on a new career."
Barack Obama

We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our
students and our schools.   We must make sure that people who have the
grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best
education possible.
Barack Obama

Teaching and Learning in America
 Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition.  ~Jacques Barzun

 Teachers must take back our schools from partisan pontificators and political hacks.

 "Terrorism" is a tactic:  Our enemies are myriad,
but ignorance and subversion are more lethal than terror."

Author bio: Jan Underwood teaches Spanish at Portland Community College,
and when she's not at work, writes and practices Tae Kwon Do. 
She has lived in Canada, France and Mexico and now makes her home with 
her daughter in Portland. Day Shift Werewolf is her first novel.

Excerpt:
"Downtown, at the convention center, there's a gathering of young Republicans.
That sounds pretty palatable. I find a doorway facing away from the main
boulevard and wolf up. Then I go into the center from the back and prowl
around for a while. On the fifth floor I find a sauna. It looks like there's just one guy here, a gauzy brown shape in the haze. Perfect. I slip in, slit his throat
with a steady claw and have a young Republican for dinner.
