Working as a substitute
teacher at Edmund Burke school, then a classroom teacher at Field School in
Washington D.C. from 1999 to 2003 was an interesting
experience. At hyper-liberal Burke they
did not ask about my politics. At
Field they did – a lot.
They were instinctively against the Iraq war. It turns out that the Bush administration was
lying about the weapons of mass destruction. The Democrats
had lied so extensively and fought so hard over the "hanging chad"
of the 2000 election that I could not believe they might be telling the truth
about WMD. At any rate, Field School spit
me out rather forcibly. |
The University
of Maryland allowed retirees over 60 to enroll tuition-free. I jumped at the opportunity. One semester in
the College of Education convinced me that the whole educational enterprise
was corrupt. I had taken a course in
the Statistics Department and decided there was something to be learned from
them. Along the way,
I took two amazing anthropology courses, with the Kayapo Indians in Brazil
and Jewish settlements in Argentina. These are links
to my work at Maryland. |
