Jason Fink:  

pt (we had to find a way out on our own, avoiding border patrols & bandits while floating down river on a darkened boat at night), and I wound up back in the Bay Area. I taught in East Oakland at a very marginalized elementary school - Parker Elementary - for 3 years. I met my wife to be while out dancing one night; we dated for almost a year before Liberty popped the question. I then taught at Bentley for a year before I went into Medical School. During medical school we lived in Belize, Florida, Maine, Atlanta,& Las Vegas. About halfway through my son, Sage, was born, and that changed everything. after I graduated, I opted for a stay-at-home dad route rather than pursue the 80 to 100 hour weeks of residency, and have been living here in Seattle ever since. Now that he's in preschool, I'm starting to look at jobs again, but we'll see. What I'd like to do is open up a free PreK-12 private school for at risk kids, one that emphasize languages from preschool on up. We'd also focus on service learning - e.g., learn school subjects from 9-3, and then take what we've learned into the community & do service projects for a couple of hours each day. During the summer, we'd be overseas doing service projects in developing countries... Ah, well, it's a pipe dream.. maybe if I win the lottery...
