内容:
I collect books about baseball, 宗教, literature, and medieval history. Many books I have are autographed copies by famous scientists, 演员, poets and sports figures including Jane 古德, Jim Barnes (Native-American poet), 詹姆斯 Tate (Pulitzer Prize winning poet), Kirk Douglas, and Buck O’Neill (former Negro Leagues manager). Theoretical physics including the “string theory” has caught my imagination lately. I enjoy thinking about 的事情 that most people never bother with whether its theology, physics, morality, or cryptozoology. Our culture now tries to crush 我们的 innate originality and creativity. As teachers we must not betray 我们的 students to this 强大的破坏力 of standards, high-stakes testing, and mediocrity. The wisdom of other cultures can save us. I see immigration as a stimulating and healthy force in 我们的 culture. I believe the following: “You cannot begin to appreciate another culture unless you can see beauty in it. Our goal as teachers is to help 我们的 students see this beauty in other cultures as well as in 我们的 own.”
