Introduction
I’m Elissa Matheny. I grew up in Durham, New Hampshire, a small university town. However, this summer my parents moved to St. Louis, so now I have a new home in the Midwest, quite a different experience from New England. I’m really excited to be in In Class/Outclassed because although I’ve never considered myself interested in becoming an educator, I’ve discovered a recent fascination for learning about educational reform in America.
