“American history”. Didn’t say which period.
Why do you like grading?
“I actually don’t really like it but I do like seeing where students are at”.
Why do you like reading?
“Because two different people, potentially hundreds of years apart, can read the same things”.
What’s your favorite history?
“The progressive movement. Also I like the rise of organized mobs in the 1920s. If I was around in the 1920s, I’d probably be a mobster.”
This has been very interesting to do an interview.
