About MPCSD / Mission, Vision, Core Values, Guiding Principles

In order to achieve the MPCSD Mission and Vision, grounded in our Core Values, the Board has developed Guiding Principles to further articulate why we do what we do. The intent of these Guiding Principles is to inform decision-making related to the composition, structure and delivery of our educational programs. They establish parameters that enable our professional staff to exercise creativity and innovation, ensuring that MPCSD continues as a leader in educating our students for success in high school, college and career.
 
Guiding Principle #1: District Academic Program

MPCSD’s District Academic Program encompasses all the curricular areas included in the Common Core State Standards (CCSS): Math, English Language Arts (Reading, Writing, Speaking), Science and Social Science. Additionally, in MPCSD, we also consider physical education, the visual/performing arts, and world language(1) as essential elements of our District Academic Program. Together, all seven of these curricular areas — math, ELA, science, social science, PE, visual/performing arts, and world language — comprise MPCSD’s District Academic Program.
 
For all curricular areas included in our District Academic Program, the District sets the standards(2) for these programs and intends that each of our schools make programs available to all students that meet or exceed the District’s standards(3).
 
Future changes to the curricular areas included in the District Academic program are normally considered through the District’s strategic planning process and recommended for Board approval.
 
Guiding Principle #2: Accountability/Testing

In the MPCSD, student testing is about assessing students to enable teaching professionals to be more effective teachers and students to be more effective learners. We test, in appropriate moderation, to assess how we are performing as we continually improve our educational experience for our students, analyze the effectiveness of school and District programs and support our teachers with the skills and tools they need. These test results are taken seriously and are used to inform instruction. We recognize that tests are incomplete and imperfect measures of what we strive to achieve for our students, therefore the tests that we choose to administer, whether state required or locally selected, evolve over time, and test results alone do not drive instruction and decision making.

Guiding Principle #3: Equity of Access

In order to provide equity of access to a high quality education for all District students, we actively work to meet the needs of all students, including special needs that stem from poverty, ethnicity, language, gender, or learning differences. As a result, there are times when we as a district invest a larger than pro-rata share of District resources into the education of certain students. We make these differential investments to enable all students to access the curriculum in a way that meets their needs and ensures they are appropriately challenged. We also make these investments to reap the benefits that accrue to all students when we improve the learning environment for every child.
 
Guiding Principle #4: Equity of Opportunity

The District is committed to providing equity of opportunity for all our students in all District Academic Program areas. Individual schools have flexibility regarding the structure and approach they take to delivering their curriculum, and the programs between schools may vary so long as each school meets the District’s standards in each curricular area. Within an individual school, all District Academic Programs offered should be available to all students in that school. Whenever an imbalance between supply and demand for a particular District Academic Program occurs(4) at a school, a plan to bring supply(5) and demand into balance within a reasonable time period will be established.

Guiding Principle #5: Neighborhood Schools

MPCSD schools are intentionally organized as neighborhood(6), as opposed to choice/magnet, schools. The reason for this is that our community values the unique opportunities that neighborhood schools provide to develop strong relationships and deep roots within the community by fostering friendships with other families who live within reasonable biking and walking distance. Our community also values the fact that neighborhood schools foster healthy bodies and a healthy environment by enabling students to bike and walk to school. Additionally, our District is small and is significantly constrained by the number and location of our school sites such that dedicating any of our school properties as a choice/magnet school at this time would result in depriving a significant portion of our community of the benefits of a neighborhood school. As such, MPCSD gives the first priority for attendance at District schools to District residents who live within each school’s attendance boundary(7), subject to District policy. Intra and Inter-District transfer requests are granted according to District policy on a space available basis.
 
Guiding Principle #6: Resource Allocation & School Autonomy

Innovation is one of the District’s Core Values, and the District’s governance structures should support site-based innovation as an essential element in creating the most optimal programs and services for our students(8). The District’s intent is that each school should have significant latitude to determine what will work best for its student population so long as their plans comply with District policies and standards.
 
The District is committed to promoting the most effective and equitable use of all our community’s resources(9). The District’s governance processes should ensure that both the human resources and overall funding available to each school for all activities related to the educational experience of students is equitable. Individual schools can then make choices about the way in which their resources are deployed, in accordance with District policies. The District works to leverage successful site-based innovations for the benefit of all District students by facilitating the sharing of best practices between schools and evolving the District’s Curriculum Standards to reflect these learnings.

 

1 World Language was added as a District Academic Program by the 2008 Strategic Plan.

2 District staff, with Board approval, set the standards for all District Academic Program areas of the curriculum. For curricular areas within the Common Core State Standards, the District may choose to adopt as is, change, or exceed (e.g. math) those standards. For District curriculum areas not covered by the Common Core, the District will establish its own standards. District standards will comply with State and Federal regulations.

3 School site programs in DAP areas may be elective where allowed by the District’s curriculum standards.

4 When schools innovate in structuring District Academic Program offerings, an imbalance between supply and demand for a specific program may also occur during a pilot/prototyping phase. The duration of a pilot/prototype phase should be defined along with the metrics that will be used to evaluate the pilot/prototype for potential inclusion as an on-going program.

5 The definition of supply takes into account comparable programs within the same curricular area. For example, Band and Orchestra are considered to be comparable programs because, while the instruments taught are different, the programs are designed to get students to a comparable level of musical proficiency.

6 “Neighborhood” schools are those where first preference for attendance is given to students who reside within each school’s defined attendance boundary.

7 The District may approve a pilot program to be enrolled on a District-wide basis, with the intent to offer all programs through our neighborhood schools if the pilot is successful and ultimately approved as on-going program.

8 See ARs for how the Site Planning process is integral to achieving this.

9 See BP 3290 for policy on the use of grants and other charitable donations.

Menlo Park Historical Association – Schools

The earliest public school in what is today the incorporated City of Menlo Park was the Creek School (1874), organized under the Redwood City School District on land in the Willows that was donated by Col. McKendry. The next school was at the corner of Oak Grove and Crane (1875) was also organized under the Redwood City School District. By 1880 there were enough students to organize the Menlo Park School District that covers much of today’s Menlo Park and Atherton. The new District proceeded to build a new school on El Camino Real. Meanwhile, the area to the east of Middlefield formed the Ravenswood City School District in 1892 and proceeded to build a new Creek School in the Willows. The Willows was annexed by Menlo Park just after WWII but the area remained in the Ravenswood City School District until 1983. The area of Menlo Park to the east of 101 remains in the Ravenswood City School District along with all of the City of East Palo Alto.

Fedor Rashchevsky on office design trends • Interior+Design

“We identify two global trends in public interior design,” says Fedor Rashchevsky, Partner at Offcon Architecture Bureau, curator of the Design of Public Spaces program at the British Higher design school. Moreover, they successfully fit into the sonorous abbreviation HIP HOP: Human Integration Process / Human Oriented Planning.

The labor market has changed, and employers in advanced sectors of the economy are no longer able to get the best employees through high wages alone. Employees want high-quality working conditions, and ideally, an office-symbol, a kind of style icon that would increase their social status. Attracting an employee is half the success, it is important to keep him, integrate him into the image and philosophy of the company, into the brand, make him loyal and enthusiastic.

Employees evaluate the office not by how luxurious it looks, but by how well it is adapted for work and change of environment, how much through space and services they feel the care of management. Optimistic, motivated people always work better than intimidated and bureaucratic ones.

Typology of new spaces: Activity Based Office

Instagram, Menlo Park, California, Gensler.

It is important that an employee can find a suitable place in the office for each task. You need concentration, so you need a zone where it can be achieved (focus room, phone booth). Collaboration needed – need a high table next to a drawing surface or with an interactive screen, etc. An efficient workspace in its diversity is called Activity Based Office.

Relax zone for switching consciousness

Instagram, Menlo Park, California, Gensler.

Relaxation as such does not generate ideas (just as no zone by itself guarantees that creativity will skyrocket in the office). Relax zones are effective as a tool for switching consciousness overloaded with information. As a rule, such zones are perceived as stereotyped: soothing quiet rooms in soft colors, with plants in pots or bean bags, but this is a superficial perception. If you just want to make a quiet room in the office, then you should think about the format of the library, in which certain rules apply: for example, it is forbidden to use the phone.

“Cosy” office is not analogous to home

Etsy New York office, Gensler

I do not at all approve of the fact that the office often becomes a home. It is important to strike a balance between personal and work time. Many companies are trying to get employees to spend more time in the office, but the office should remain a space for work, communication, exchange of opinions, search for solutions, and the house should be a family place.

Coworking perspective

Yves Béart. Coworking in Silicon Valley. Key furnishings include innovative Sayl office chairs, a design by Yves Behar for Herman Miller, and a Red Dot Design Award.

It is vague, as is the prospect of the entire “joint” economy. A system based on borrowing a job or household item cannot satisfy a large corporation. You will not rent a machine if you are going to produce something on it on a permanent basis. Also, you will not rent temporary jobs for a predictably growing business in competitive markets where confidentiality of information is valued. Another thing is that the very model of coworking as an inexpensive and flexible solution is very applicable in office design: it initially contains many correct ideas for the functioning of each square meter.

Inspiration

Cadillac House, New York, Gensler

For me, the work of Gensler, the California studio O + A, has always been a reference point, it is interesting to look at what T + T Architects, the Kleinewelt Architekten bureau, are doing. IND Architects are always attracted by their cleanliness and restraint, and I am completely delighted with the interiors of Dmitry Ovcharov and his NEFA bureau. My personal most complex and successful example is the development of workspaces at Kaspersky Lab’s headquarters: we managed to change the way we think, work and live in the workspace of a huge team.

If we talk about new private architecture in Russia, I really like what Sergei Kolchin’s Le Atelier does, which is mainly private houses and apartments – always very exquisite fine work. Excellent work at the bureau of Alexandra Fedorova.

Menlo Park – Other Cities – National Research University Higher School of Economics

Oleg Budnitsky:

I lived in Menlo Park for a total of two years with a break of five years. The first time I was there was in the 1994/95 academic year. It was my personal discovery of America. I received my first serious American grant for a year of research work in the States – a grant from IREX – International Research and Exchange Board (Council for Scientific Research and Exchanges). Then it was like winning a million on a tram ticket. The grant application was the first text I typed on a computer, with one finger. Now it’s hard to imagine. Typing text on the computer was a whole thing, a separate procedure. About six months later, when I had almost forgotten about the application, the administration of the Rostov Pedagogical University, where I was teaching then, received a call from Moscow. An American called and said in English that she would like to talk with Oleg Vitalyevich, and the word stipend was used – a sensation! I called her back from the university — I didn’t have a home phone — and heard that I was receiving this grant. I was asked to confirm the desired place of stay. In the first place for me was the Hoover Institute, the official name is the Hoover Institute for War, Revolution and Peace, because there is a wonderful archive with Russian materials, the largest collection of documents about Russia outside of it. The institute was founded in 1919 by the then Secretary of Commerce, and later by US President Herbert Hoover, with a very specific goal: to understand how the First World War and the revolution could have happened at all, what it was like. My second option was Stanford University. It seemed so unlikely to me to receive this grant that I did not even look at the location of the Hoover Institution. And it is located on the territory of Stanford University and is affiliated with it. When asked to confirm my choice, I said: “Hoover Institution, second choice – Stanford University.” The American laughed and said that I would definitely fall into one of these places.

The Hoover Institution is located in California, in Silicon Valley, from Washington it takes about six hours to fly, between the east coast and the west 3 time zones. When I arrived, I checked into a motel in Palo Alto, bordering Stanford, and started looking for accommodation, which turned out to be no easy task. After all, what is Silicon Valley, in which Stanford University is located? This is a series of small towns flowing one into another. It is forbidden to build multi-storey buildings by decision of local authorities, the houses are one- or two-story, and it is very difficult to find a rented room in a house, especially for someone who, like me then, is poorly versed in these realities and does not drive a car. American colleagues did not provide me with much help in this search. In general, the Hoover Institution is not too friendly, unlike Stanford University, of which it is formally a part. In Moscow, a senior colleague asked me to say hello to one of our second-wave emigrants, Sergei Vasilyevich Utekhin, who lived in Menlo Park. I called, we talked, he asked where I lived, and when he found out that I was in a motel, he referred me to Irina Valentinovna Barnes, deputy director of the Stanford Russian Center. Irina Valentinovna is one of the Russian emigrants of the first wave, post-revolutionary, and – a rare case – she ended up in exile in Japan with her parents. Then she graduated from the University of California at Berkeley and over the decades since then has become completely American. She immediately began calling places where rooms were rented. I tell her: “I actually need an apartment.” “Why an apartment? It’s more expensive.” – “Where will I receive colleagues?” I asked naively. To which I was told that they do not accept colleagues here, they go to a restaurant with colleagues for lunch or dinner. “It’s uncomfortable to live in a room.” “Don’t worry, your room is your castle. You will feel completely independent there, and it will cost you half as much.” It was a reasonable suggestion that fully justified itself. Irina Valentinovna found me a very pleasant room in Menlo Park in a pretty one-story house with a garden where lemon trees grew. In addition, from there it was possible to walk to the center of the campus, where the archive was located, in about 45 minutes. This resulted in wonderful morning and evening walks. Another very important thing: Irina Barnes called Boris Dedovich, from Shanghai Russians, already retired by that time, and said something like this: “Boris (with emphasis on the first syllable)! We have a scientist from Russia here, we need to help him.” Boris arrived literally ten minutes later. From that moment, my friendship began with the local Russian emigrant community, people who are unusually friendly and always ready to help, even when you don’t ask for it. As I formulated for myself, this could be the Russian people if the history of our country had not gone the way it did.

Menlo Park is a small town bordering Stanford. Then it had 27 thousand inhabitants, it consisted entirely of one- and two-story houses. There was the only five-story house in the whole city, having built it, the local authorities immediately decided not to repeat this again and adopted the corresponding law. In the town, as expected, there was one main street, it was called Santa Cruz. The town and the entire Silicon Valley were crossed by El Camino Real, the royal road laid by the Spanish conquistadors, which stretches through all of California. This is such a prosperous area, area, as they say in the States. mid 19In the 90s, a house in Menlo Park cost an average of half a million dollars; five years later, the same houses began to cost a million – one and a half. In this area lived people who were not poor and very pleasant. The Russian Orthodox Church, the Sisterhood of St. Elizabeth, operated there, around which the life of old Russian emigrants revolved, regardless of whether they were believers or not. On Christmas Eve, a Russian bazaar was opened there, food a la russe was prepared and sold, Americans and especially Americans flocked there to buy dumplings, cabbage rolls, and eat borscht, which is considered a delicacy.

There was an excellent library in Menlo Park – a small one-story house with extensive underground storage. And there is such a library in any American town. There will definitely be basic reference literature, major magazines, computers with Internet access, a video library, and so on. And anyone who lives in the town has the right to use it.

Stanford, i.e. Stanford University, has city status. The campus of Stanford University is the largest university campus I have ever seen, and the most beautiful, with Mexican architecture houses and other delights. Stanford has its own police, its own fire brigade, everything is as it should be. The Hoover Institution is at the center of the campus.

A complete surprise for me was the abundance of Russians in these parts, and not only programmers.

Hoover Tower is the tallest building on campus, it can be seen from almost anywhere in Stanford, as it is not too decently sharp here, this is the greatest erection of Hoover. The archives of the Hoover Institution contain the archives of the White movement, in particular the archive of Wrangel – in fact, this is the archive of the White movement in southern Russia, as well as archives of Russian emigration and other materials – for example, materials of the American Communist Party and what the Americans captured in Nazi Germany in during World War II. A lot of interesting things, but I was interested in what concerns Russia. University libraries, by the way, are open until midnight.

My project was called “Terrorism in Russia: Between Reform and Revolution”. I came to work on my book on the history of terrorism in Russia, which was published in 2000 under the title “Terrorism in the Russian Liberation Movement: Ideology, Ethics, Psychology. ” This is the most cited of my books. In 2016, its second, revised edition was published. Naturally, first of all, I took up the archive of the foreign secret police – foreign agents of the police department. The headquarters of foreign agents was located in the Russian embassy in Paris: in those days, they also worked undercover. After the revolution and the recognition of the USSR by France, the then Russian ambassador to France, Vasily Maklakov, sent the archive of foreign agents of the police department — surveillance materials, albums with photographs of revolutionaries whom the police hunted for, and other data — to the Hoover Library, as it was called in 1920-30s. In general, many Russian emigrants and emigrant institutions kept their archives in Prague, in the Russian Foreign Historical Archive under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Czechoslovakia. But Vasily Maklakov thought that Prague was too close to Moscow, and he was right. In 1945, immediately after the liberation of Prague by Soviet troops, enkavedeshniki came there, who, on the one hand, arrested Russian emigrants, and on the other hand, seized the archive allegedly donated to the Soviet Union by the new government of Czechoslovakia. Since then, this Prague archive has been kept in Moscow in the State Archives of the Russian Federation. It was in secret storage and became available to researchers only after the collapse of the communist regime. Maklakov sent his papers, including the archive of foreign agents, across the ocean, and until the second half of 19In the 1950s, it was closed to researchers. In total, the archive of the foreign secret police occupies 216 archival boxes. The Hoover Institution keeps archives of Russian embassies in Paris, Washington and other capitals of the world. There is also a huge collection of documents – 811 boxes that make up the collection of Boris Nikolaevsky. It was first a Bolshevik, and then a Menshevik, exiled from Soviet Russia, a historian of the revolutionary movement, who amassed a colossal collection of documents weighing several tons, which was eventually bought by the Hoover Institution. Nikolaevsky became the lifelong keeper of his own collection – this was the condition for its sale. He settled, of course, in Menlo Park. By the time of my arrival, Nikolaevsky had long since died, but many Russian emigrants communicated with him at one time and remembered him. And especially his old and hopeless love Anna Burgin, who married Nikolaevsky in her old age and became his successor in the storage and description of the collection. However, the elderly Russian lady in Menlo Park was remembered by many, especially firefighters. When Anna Mikhailovna could not fasten the zipper on her dress, she called firefighters who helped to deal with this problem. I must say that they meekly came to her calls, although they understood that it was hardly a fire. Stunning documents are stored in the Nikolaevsky collection, just treasures. For some time I worked with them, but I realized that there was no fundamentally new texture that would influence my concept.

Among the archivists there, with whom I quickly became friends, was Olga Sergeevna Verkhovskaya-Dunlop, also from Russian emigrants, from Paris, with excellent “old-mode” Russian and a Parisian accent. She was married to John Dunlop, an American political scientist and fellow at the Hoover Institution who specialized in events in Russia and published what I felt was a book a day. One day I asked her: “Olga Sergeevna, what, in your opinion, is the most interesting among the local archival collections, a pearl?” She replied: “Look at the Maklakov collection, correspondence with Bakhmetev, with Aldanov.” I began to look and realized that “my whole previous life was in vain,” that all these terrorists, revolutionaries, and so on are so intellectually wretched compared to figures of high Russian culture that, to a certain extent, it is a pity for the time spent studying their theoretical disputes and practical activities. As a result, I changed the scope of my scientific interests for several years. He took up the history of Russian emigration and published several books – monographs and collections of documents, starting with the correspondence between Maklakov and Bakhmetev. Boris Aleksandrovich Bakhmetev was appointed Ambassador to Washington by the Provisional Government. He was a professor of hydraulics, spoke excellent English, knew America well. And he served as ambassador for another five years after the revolution. And then he went into business, founded a company for the production of matches, earned millions. Already a rich man, he returned to his profession and became a professor at Columbia University. Moreover, without a salary: he was provided with a laboratory, and he lived at his own expense, moreover, he was engaged in charity work. Vasily Maklakov is a famous lawyer, a deputy of three Dumas, the best orator in Russia, in exile – the chairman of the Russian Emigrant Committee in Paris. And so he and Bakhmetev corresponded for many years, from 1919 to 1951, until the death of Bakhmetev. Correspondence is a real intellectual novel. These are not ordinary letters: some of them are 50 or even 70 typewritten pages long. I published this correspondence under the title “Totally personal and confidential!” (Bakhmetev sometimes made such inscriptions on his letters) in three volumes. Subsequently, I released two more volumes of Maklakov’s correspondence – with Vasily Shulgin (“Dispute about Russia”, 2008) and Mark Aldanov (“Human Rights and Empire”, 2015). Such a story happened in Menlo Park, which was of tremendous importance for me, as well as my acquaintance with Stanford University and American colleagues. Especially with Terry Emmons, a wonderful historian of Russia and a fine connoisseur of Moscow.

A complete surprise for me was the abundance of Russians in these parts, and not only programmers. Later, I wrote in one of my articles that the modern Russian population of California is divided into two categories: programmers and those who are studying to become programmers. So, now I’m talking about other Russians – about the old, Far Eastern, Harbin Russian emigration, which, after the Chinese revolution, the Chinese threw out of the country with confiscation of property and so on. As a rule, these people through Latin America – Venezuela, Brazil and other countries – eventually moved to the western coast of America and settled there, preserving Russian culture. This is already the second generation of Russian emigration, that is, children of emigrants born at the end of 1920-1930s and retained a peculiar, unusual for us Russian language, unusual word formation. For example, what we call a “gas station”, they call it a “gasoline”, because gas in English is “gasoline”. Instead of “airplane” they say “airplane” and so on. I will say again that in Menlo Park and its environs I made many friends among old emigrants and former Soviet citizens, mostly Moscow intellectuals, in large part graduates of the Mechanics and Mathematics Department of Moscow State University. Almost all of them are accomplished, quite successful people who brought to America the intellectual culture of the late Soviet era. In their houses (of varying degrees of luxury) they certainly had bookshelves, and on them was the dream of a Soviet intellectual of that time: Soviet publications, once exported across the ocean. All of them had a keen interest in what was happening in Russia, from time to time they organized home lectures and sometimes invited me to read them.

In Menlo Park, I met and became friends with the late Sergei Vasilyevich Utekhin. Before the war, he studied at Moscow University, ended up in the occupied territory and was driven away by the Nazis to a labor camp, and after the war he remained in Germany, disliking the Soviet government since pre-war times. He received his doctorate from Oxford, became a historian, first British, then American. Sergei Vasilyevich was a famous person in Menlo Park – such an eccentric Russian professor. He walked around Santa Cruz and, in order not to lose time, read books on the go. When I showed up there, Sergei Vasilyevich was already retired. We started walking together on weekends when the archive was closed. He had seen a lot in his lifetime and told a lot of interesting things. He asked how things were in Moscow, he was terribly fascinated by what was happening in post-Soviet Russia – he had already been there, taught at the RSUH. For all the years of his life in the West, he never learned to drive a car – his wife drove. They had a Ford Falcon64 years of release. They called her Falcon: falcon in English “falcon”. They were constantly offered to sell it, because it is a collector’s item, but they refused. For one reason: Sergey Vasilyevich was convinced that all these changes in cars were pure advertising, corporations were making money on this, and while the car was running, there was nothing to change it.

Having received a grant, a few months before my departure, I began to make inquiries about how life in America works in everyday terms. I addressed this question to one of my acquaintances, a biologist who had just returned from the States. To which she told me: “There is no life in America.” It turned out to be true. I was worried, for example, washing. I arrive in the garage at the Russian House in San Francisco. By that time, I already had a lot of friends, various scientific and personal connections were established both at Stanford and at Berkeley. The result of this trip, among other things, was a book that I consider the best among my books – “Money of the Russian Emigration: Kolchak’s Gold. 1918-1957″ (2008). This is about the fate of the gold reserves of the Russian Empire, also known as Kolchak’s gold.

Both the Hoover Institution and Stanford were visited by many politicians from different countries. Public lectures and meetings were constantly held there. For example, the first public lecture I attended was a lecture by Vaclav Havel, President of the Czech Republic. He arrived with Joan Baez, an American singer who once toured in still socialist Czechoslovakia, at her concert the disgraced Havel then publicly performed (this was the beginning of his rise). Madeleine Albright came, and many others. Former Secretary of State George Shultz retired to become a senior fellow at Hoover. In general, the Hoover Institution is a Republican think tank. I was assigned to such a closed club “100 seniors” – physically it is a pavilion next to the Hoover Tower. Tea, coffee, cookies are served, scientists come to talk to each other. Extremely interesting, of course. George Schultz came and immediately began to get to know everyone. He comes up to me and asks: “And who are you?” – “I’m from Russia”. “Oh,” he says, “another KGB agent.” Such American political humor. But listening to his reasoning – and Schultz was very fond of talking – was very interesting. That is, the experience was the most diverse and, on the whole, unusually positive.

More about Stanford students. Once – it happened already during my second “coming” to Stanford – I was asked to advise one student, already at the MA level, who was going to apply for a grant for further education. To do this, it was necessary to submit a dissertation project. Her project was called Terrorism in Russia: from Ivan the Terrible to Vladimir Putin. Already the name did not promise anything good. But – there is nowhere to go – you will not refuse a colleague. A student sent me a project, and we agreed to meet in a cafe on the 2nd floor of the Stanford Bookstore. The Stanford bookstore deserves a separate discussion. Walking along the shelves and seeing what American professors publish books about is a good antidote to the popular notion of American lack of spirituality.

The project was, of course, on the other side of good and evil. We met, and the student came with a burger and a bag of potatoes in her hands. “Sorry,” she says, “I’m so hungry.” Probably, something was reflected in my look, but the student misinterpreted this and handed me a bag of potatoes: “Take it, don’t be shy!” I refused and tried to explain to her that it is necessary to distinguish between state terror, violence from above, and terrorism – violence from the opposition, that the very concept of terrorism arises in the 19th century and that in general she needs to read this and that, and that this and that, and then it will be possible to talk about something. The wonderful creature, clapping its eyes, said that it would do everything and – can it send me a revised text then? “And when is the deadline for submitting a project?” – “In two weeks”. Well, I think that nothing else threatens me, and I say: “Of course, send me!”

And what do you think? Two weeks later, I received a completely sane project! She read everything! I understood something about it.
