Trimming The Truth

Author: billbenbarker

I recently retired after a 34 year career in public education. I was a teacher, supervisor, and administrator. Essentially, I enjoyed it all. The nonsense surrounding NCLB basically drove me to the edge...a good intention gone terribly wrong. In addition, I'm a founder (along with my late wife, Carolyn) of the Country Gate Playhouse community theatre in Belvidere, New Jersey. In recent years I've dabbled in writing interactive dinner theatre plays. I have also written a play called "Jersey Diner" as well as a youth oriented musical adaptation of "Tom Sawyer". Since "retiring" I'm an adjunct at our local community college. I also serve as a New Jersey school district education consultant. View all posts by billbenbarker
