Working at Palen was fantastic, and the relationship between the teachers and the staff was really conducive to teaching.  I considered most genuinely good friends, and taught several in advanced technique and theory.  In addition to the logistics of record-keeping and revenue-generating, I make a point to know my students and their families.  If they like and trust me, they buy into me as a teacher AND as a person.
