I remember when school reformers insisted the biggest problem in education was that teachers didn't come from the best colleges. |
Bibliography
VERY EARLY in the process of taking down information, and dividing it by year in American history – on or about December 7, 2021, I managed to erase my bibliography. Since I throw most paperbacks away, after taking notes, I am unable to supply sources for every quote.
Otherwise,
if I follow a quote or section of material with the notation: (10/21-23), it
means the material is from BOOK 10, pp. 21-23. Books are numbered with no rhyme
nor reason, as I finished with them.
I also supply links to all newspaper and magazine articles, and old books, which can be found online.
In some rare cases, I have clippings or parts of stories I saved long ago, and cannot identify the source. I mark those accordingly.
Finally, where you see:
NOTE TO TEACHERS: I have suggested ideas I believe might work in a
classroom. Many I used myself, during 33 years in teaching. For example, I
realized, the last time I visited California, that the tallest redwood trees –
which reach 360 feet – are exactly as tall as a football field, including both
endzones, stood up on end. So, you could use this picture in your classroom, to
make that point. Almost all pictures included in my posts are out of copyright,
or I took them myself.
Feel free to use any you want.
My wife with the redwood. |
