When I graduated from University, I remember making a vow that I would always teach in independent or private schools. I kept that vow until a few years ago when I was selected by the Visiting International Faculty to participate in their cultural exchange program here in the USA. It has always been an honor to participate as an ambassador for my country in a program where only about 7% of applicants are chosen. It has also resulted in professional and personal growth that I had never imagined possible. That said, I am sitting at a recruitment fair in Atlanta having had several interviews with some of the finest private schools in the United States. To say the least, it has reminded how wonderful these institutions of educational progress have always been, and always will continue to be in our rapidly changing world. I am not saying that public schools are not able to be exemplary institutions of learning, but I am pointing out that alternative schools appear to evolve more adequately when it comes to meeting the demands of the dynamic society we see around us every day.
