Alma del Mar - Will Gardner

Will Gardner, Founder & Executive Director
Will Gardner graduated from Wesleyan University and began his teaching career as a Teach for America corps member in Greenville, Mississippi. In Mississippi, Will served as an elementary school music teacher and later as a 3rd grade teacher in a program for students behind in reading. Following five years in Mississippi, Will returned to his home state of Massachusetts to run an out of school time site for Citizen Schools in New Bedford. While running a Citizen Schools site for middle school students, Will saw firsthand how too many students in New Bedford enter middle school unprepared to succeed at the high levels that a college track demands. At the same time, he witnessed that students can be reignited academically when challenged to do rigorous, meaningful and service-oriented work. The desire to see more students doing incredible work and to put more kids in New Bedford on the path to college led Will to complete Harvard’s School Leadership program and dedicate two years to creating Alma del Mar.

My son's a cop, so he's really upset, and after his daughter got in the car, she asked if he shoots people."

Do not worry Comrade Policeman, you will have your opportunity to subjugate as well. Besides, what do you believe, that the little girl you speak of is really your daughter? Remember, once she enters the State School System, resistance against the common core of ideals is futile.

Inculcating beliefs based on lies is evil.

Will Gardner and every administration of that school needs to be put on a national list of known child abusers and injunctions applied to keep these child abusers at least 500 feet away from grade schools or gathers of more than 20 children.

Insanity. Second graders should be taught to respect police, not loot stores, and that sometimes the bad guys get shot.

We debated wether NES was better than Commodore 64 when I was in 2nd grade.

No child naturally gravitate towards a serious subject like Ferguson without some hippie teacher prompting them hard.

The 2nd graders are more mature than your average Marxist.

In a country with a community organizer as it’s President, perfectly normal behavior.

All over the third world children are co-opted to participate in military operations because they are easy to influence.

Same thing going on here. They are easy to influence by adults with nefarious intent.
