Though some anthropologists may argue otherwise, many would probably agree that anthropology belongs in our nation's schools, integrated into both school curriculum and teacher education. Because anthropology provides a broad cross-cultural perspective and a framework within which to study many other subjects, some would even argue that it should be the basic building block for elementary teacher education and a required subject for secondary school science and social studies teachers. Furthermore, as anthropologist Larry Breitborde (this issue) discovered while working with elementary teachers at Beloit College, "there is already a significant amount of anthropology in the curriculum, but at a covert level" By teaching anthropology to teachers, a perspective and a framework are offered within which teachers can better understand many seemingly diverse fragments of their curriculum, enabling them to approach their subjects in a more coherent and less ethnocentric fashion.
