I read a lot of Linda Darling Hammond. I am deeply involved in the lives of two Burmese refugee families. MY TIME AT ANTIOCH When I was in high school in Florida, a very good history teacher, Jim Niswonger,said to me“You aren’t happy here, you aren’t comfortable here because this is not your place. When you go to college—and don’t stay in Florida—you will find your place.” He was so right. I remember my first night there alone. I watched folk dancing and I thought (though I never became a good folk dancer) “These are my people.” And they were.
