Project description
At Developing Curriculum, Inc., we have gathered a significant amount of math and science learning materials destined to be "free". These materials need to be evaluated, organized, and uploaded by someone with a strong interest and/or background in math and science. This project might also involve communicating with working teachers to help develop new free curriculum.

Hi, my name is William Kneberg Tarter St. Apt. 347 B, Commmerce, TX 75428 Parent's home phone number is (903)-473-1543 w_kneberg@yahoo.com I would be good for this job because I have in interest in math and science myself, I have been journaling since about 13 and I have already taught my nephew so much using psychology, intellectual wisdom, and knowledge, that he is a genius. He started 1st. grade barely knowing how to read because his first school was a crappy city school, and when he relocated the school put him in a self-paced learning program with some other odd 25 students who were very smart and he, in two weeks learned from barely knowing how to read to exceling to one step ahead of his grade. I would love to teach the next generation of scientists because I would like to further it, and personally I like Quantum Theory and Mathematics and would like to meet new people to talk to about such things and be mentored myself. I would like to use psychology and educational reasearch to help design a learning curriculum that encourages freedom of the mind and discussion of ideas as well as expanding and connecting mental abilities so that there will be more people prepared for the depths of the sciences and maths and particularly, to have a unique perspective and contribute to the scientific pursute. Sincerly, William PS. I am looking for intellectual conversations with people that will help me do the best I can, answering questions, because I study alone, and am loney and get frustrated and bored to death, plus I try to find new psychological ways to make myself smarter while trying to develop a study plan and this frequently gets frustrating when you change your mind every day. So I've just decided to start journaling about mental improvement techniques as well because I like to think those up. But seriously, I do need a mentor and some friends to help me study correctly, answer questions, and be someone I can admire. PPS. I would like to finnish typing up my journals which are like a foot and a half deep now days and this is quite a challenge.
