Im bald headed shark.The name given to me by my grandkid who liked swimming with me in Murcia Spain.Im a grad of Harvard in education PHD.Please dont see me as a typical harvard grad..Getting into education in harvard is easier than other specialites.Seems that most harvrd educaction grads go to work in private schools where kids wear uniforms and live in school dorms..Teachers earn alot.Harvard decided in 1982 to attract teachers already on the job in low income schools public or private.--offer a summer program of 4 summers plus correspondence during the work year via mail and phone to obtain a masters in 4 years plus doctorate in 6 years.The contract is to stay in same school suring the study years plus afterwards for a period of no less than 5 years.Other notable universites like columbia stanford yale offer similar free programs..I was working in nyc bushwick high school during my harvard years.rubbing elbows with harvard law medicine mba students was quite interesting .Also meeting the so called regular harvard education students of 18 to 25 years was also an eye opener for both sides...as we older ones spoke of real teacher student `situations that the younger students never had imagined.ie.a kid coming to school shoeless as a bully might rob your shoes on the way to school in the morning or parents who dont speak english..or are in jail or in another country.Students with great potential but parnts eho cant afford books or supplies.Bald headed shark i am bald headed shark i be.
