History

Matt Lyons and Karen Carr

“Two of us taking an early interest in geography.” – Matt Lyons

“I guess we haven’t changed much.” – Karen Carr

“Another favorite memory is proposing classes and getting student teachers to teach them. English history, comparative ideologies… I also seem to have missed the rules of English, and a lot of the science concepts my kids are learning.” – Leela Fireside

” Court Bell getting me psyched about “social studies” – maybe this was Civil War material?  Not sure what the material was, but Court was so enthusiastic and compelling that you couldn’t help but be interested.” – Peter Lichtenbaum
