==Life and work==
Jones was raised on 46th Avenue in the Sunset District during the 1940s and 1950s.〔http://www.outsidelands.org/jones.php〕 In the mid-1960s, while working as a high school teacher in Palo Alto, Ron Jones created a project with his 15-year-old World History students in which they experienced the growth of a fascistic movement in their class, which was called The Wave. It was intended as a week-long experiential project. Jones designed lesson plans which created a movement, including a salute, a slogan and a secret police force. The experiment spiraled out of control and was ended by Jones after complaints from teachers and parents. Jones then revealed that it was a hoax intended to give students a direct experience of how easily they could be misled into behaving like fascists, drawing parallels to the rise of the National Socialist movement in Germany. Jones says that he was refused tenure at Cubberley High School because of his anti-war activities two years after the experiment. There were huge student protests against this decision.
He has spent the past 30 years working with people with mental disabilities.
He lives in the Haight Ashbury of San Francisco, with his wife Deanna. He also wrote the story entitled "The Acorn People." It is a story of Jones' experience as a camp counselor.
