When I got my current job, I had the choice of a grant funded job, or this one. I took this one because the funding is secure until the department is closed down. With a grant funded job, youâll probably have more interesting work. Itâll look good on your resume and teach you a lot.
My first book, Sideways Stories from Wayside School was not distributed well when it first appeared in 1978. The book was difficult for parents and teachers to find. It never sold very many copies, but I got lots of fan letters that greatly encouraged me.
In the United States, the first schools began in the 13 original colonies in the 17th century. For example, Boston Latin School, which was founded in 1635, was the first public school and the oldest existing school in the country. The earliest schools focused on reading, writing, and mathematics.
