Lauren Bentley

Academics
Lauren studies how screwed up the American education system is, or more broadly how screwed up the world is. She is particularly interested in education policy and reform. She's spent 1 1/2 years of her time at Hampshire creating the documentary, "The Cost of Accountability: Teaching Under the No Child Left Behind Act" (which can be viewed at ) with William Brideau, Samantha Kimball, Evan Hatten, Madeline Baker and Kristen Luschen. The documentary looks at how No Child Left Behind has affected the lives of educators working in small, rural Massachusetts schools. Her Division III looks at a Springfield elementary school's transition from a traditional public school to a Montessori magnet school.

Etc.
In her free time, Lauren watches bad television, draws her feelings and eats a lot.

During the school year, she's an employee of the school store.

She lives in Prescott Mod 94
