About Raising Americans…
Hello! I ‘m Antonette Bowman. I have devoted much of my life to the rewarding and foundational work of teaching young people, and I’m interested in thinking critically about how we are Raising Americans and how we can do better. I believe that raising enlightened and fulfilled American citizens who will foster a flourishing American democracy requires reflection, purposeful commitment, and candid conversations related to parenting, education, and culture.
I am an experienced educator and a graduate of Stanford University who earned an M.A. in Teaching from Johns Hopkins University. I have 8 years of classroom teaching experience in both private and public schools. I’ve enjoyed working with a wide range of age groups — from diligent AP World History students tackling college level work to eager first graders just learning to read.
I like to get geeky about research and digging into the details. In the era of my life before kids (B.K.), I worked as a staff auditor with Deloitte Touche, as well as a staff auditor, senior auditor, and Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with Ernst & Young. I am also the proud parent of two incredible adults who attended public schools after I homeschooled them for a few years when they were young.
In America, we often proudly proclaim that “our children come first.”
But do they?
