  What if Teaching Went Wild
Do this in a dramatic way, noting as you do it that it is sure peculiar that we are asked to teach and learn about the natural world in spaces more and more cut off from it.
Wild is that unsettling sense of otherness, unexpected and unpredictable and following its own flow, but still a flow that is, in some not-quite-graspable way, ours too.
Wildness tends to ramify – which is why the tradition looks upon it with such unease, and why, right now, we need it so very much.

 [MURDER OF WILD BILL HICKOCK AT DEADWOOD
The witness testified that he had been introduced to Wild Bill in Cheyenne, and drank with him, and that the deceased had a bad reputation, and had been the terror of every place in which he had resided.
Pickens said that he had known the defendant four years and believed him to be a quiet and peaceful man. Wild Bill's reputation as a "shootist" was very hard; he was quick in using the pistol and never missed his man, and had killed quite a number of persons in different parts of the country.
The prosecution then adduced testimony to prove that Wild Bill was a much abused man; that he had never imposed on anyone, and that in every instance where he had slain men, he had done so either in the discharge of his duty as an officer of the law or in self defense.
