The Second Tri

<p>Following <em>The First Tri: As a Young Man</em> we pick up the story of self-described everyman Dan Fishwick just after his arrival at University School an all-boys school in Shaker Heights Ohio. <em>The Second Tri: School Pictures</em> captures images from Dan's life as a teacher. Just as photographs record how we change the stories of his years in school also keep a record of broad shifts in our society. This gallery of school pictures takes us from the mid-1970s with computers just on the horizon to their ubiquitous presence in the new century. But most of all <em>The Second Tri: School Pictures</em> is Dan Fishwick's own story of his thirty years teaching coaching counseling bus-driving and administrating. He gives us insight into what makes a school work from headmaster to longtime maintenance staff equals in the important ways. Fishwick discusses issues of discipline the option of home-schooling single-sex and co-education comparisons to middle schools in France and China and much more through his own experiences. <em>The Second Tri</em> is a celebration of the teaching life but that's only the half of it. He balances that with other images - clear shots of family travels barn-building auto-restoration and music. University School is in Shaker Heights and Willoughby always Dan's place sixteen miles away. Covering that distance from where he came is a recurring theme because home like the school has deep roots.</p>
