As a veteran public-school educator of seventeen years, Robert describes the interaction of his Buddhist values and education reform in his first year as a teacher. Motivated by a desire to redirect his career toward his ken and by progressive ideas of Buddhist right livelihood, Robert left a promising-but-stalled career in business to try his hand at education.
