review 1: There is so much here for a teacher or parent to contemplate. Noguera is one of the handful of people that I would wish could come and spend time at the school that I work at. If some of the teachers could actually internalize what is being said here, there would be some drastic changes made for the better in our public education system.The essays in this book extend beyond the classroom and delve into how issues in public schools mirror those that society is confronting (or avoiding.)
review 2: I'm not finished but I know I'm going to like it. This week I had the honor of hearing the author speak. The stories he shared about his days as a teacher left me hungry for more of his insight. I wonder if my instructors shared with him my struggles this week. He said ... morehe tells his audience what they need to hear. Everything he talked about was what I needed to hear. It validated my toughness as a teacher and that I was acting in the best interests of my students. Update: I never got through the whole book! less
