I used to teach algebra to students going through JobCorps. It was a second chance for young men and women who didn't get their diploma the first time around. I truly believed in the mission of preparing a new generation with education, life skills, and vocational training to let them become productive and enthusiastic members of our society. The site in San Jose Job Corps was run with some of the most awesome humans. I worked for John Muir Charter School, who worked in cooperation with the California Conservation Corps — the hardy souls who go out to take care of our forests and trails. It was hard work, but awesome stuff.
