Ron Jones (teacher)

Ron Jones (teacher)

Ron Jones was born in 1950. He was a teacher in Palo Alto, California, USA. He started The Third Wave. It was the inspiration for The Wave, a famous book by Todd Strasser, and, soon, the movie based on the book.

He has spent the past 30 years working with people with mental disabilities. Jones says that he was refused tenure at Cubberley High School because of his anti-war activities.
