Interview with Phil Factor. Phil and I cried and cried on the episode. Yay for catharsis!


You may have noticed that I broke with tradition for the naming convention of this episode. After talking to Nettie while editing Factor, the only title that resonated with me was this line from Mumford and Sons.

Instead of changing his first person write up of himself, I decided to c&p so you can hear his love and pride and hopefully it helps you decide to vote for him if you are in his county.

"I, Phil Factor, came to Poway California in 1976 to teach, counsel, coach, and advise in the Poway Unified School District. I made up my mind that Poway was where I wanted raise my family, work, and provide community service.

For 38 years I helped Poway become one best school districts in the United States. I taught with high powered enthusiasm and passion to empower my students  to become champions for life. I always claimed that students were our most important resources we have on earth. Each student has a gift; that of intelligence, personality, and abilities. I was able to motivate students to do their best, inside and outside of the classroom. I loved facilitating discussions and activities. Being a life long learner I learned from my  students. I retired in 2014.

 

My Family:

In 1969, I was 16 years old, a junior at Granada Hills High School when I met Laurel. We went to school together. That was our first time we discussed politics. We married in 1974 and just celebrated our 46 wedding anniversary. We have two adult sons Josh and Lucas. Six grand children and a great grandson.

One of greatest impacting challenges our family faced,  was when Laurel went back to school, University of Southern California,  to become a Physician Assistant. My parenting responsibility suddenly changed, and I lived the life as a single father with children. Although we made many sacrifices at time, it payed off. My sons and I bonded into a life time relationship of love and friendship. 

Josh has been happily married for 16 years with two kids, Kaycee and Cody.  They are now grandparents. They all live in Missouri, where he teaches and coaches wrestling. Lucas is a fireman/inspector. He got married 4 years ago and became a  parent to three children, Ivan 16, and twin girls Lizzie and Robin are 11years old. Lucas and his family live with us on Iron Mountain. Laurel and I are getting the full grandparenting experience and loving it.

Too many service and other awards to mention!

Phil regrets talking so much about Skinner.  He doesn't believe Skinner is on the right path. Phil instead wants to promote his favorite, Leo Buscaglia: https://bookshop.org/a/8901/9780449901816
