While somewhat multi-layered, his poems are often laced with authentic descriptions of rural life and include his use of the predominant theme of nature.

Charter and magnet schools cropped up in every corner of Virginia; online and distance learning programs thrived; and private and parochial school enrollment boomed. Students became clients - schools that served their clients well, survived; schools that failed to serve their clients well, closed. In less than two school years, districting based on…
