Learn With ThemJoel Weber's learning, teaching, growth, teens, & Holden High School blog

Many years ago a mom from Colorado was in Orinda visiting Holden on recommendation of her own mom, who knew Holden from being part of the National Coalition of Alternative Schools (NCACS). Addie first met Co-Director Jeanie of the perennial purple hair, then Joel of the long curly hair. This gave her pause. But she set a meeting with Counseling Director Renee. And with a sigh of relief, she thought, “Finally! A normal looking professional person I can really talk to about my kid’s needs!” Alas, Renee arrived at the meeting with her own flaming purple hair. Addie enrolled her kid anyway, and didn’t tell me this story till I saw her next at an annual NCACS conference.
