Abstract:
Leon Rouson finished runner-up for the NC Teacher-of-the-Year award. He teaches math, social studies, and theater at Holton Middle School in East Durham. A former theatre major, Rouson’s style is described as scolding and loving. Rouson not only teaches students typical school subjects, but how to live in the world and how they can obey rules and at the same time, be free to make decisions and express themselves.
