They Won't Let Me Teach: What's Happening to Public Education? Why "No Child Left Behind" Is Short-Changing Our Children (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

They Won’t Let Me Teach is an insider’s look at the effect of the federal and state intrusion into the public school classroom and what it is doing to the lives of both classroom teachers and to those of their students. Why, after thirty-six years in education, did this teacher leave his career and the teaching he loved? The book begins with his early childhood and the seventeen years he spent as a student that led him on his journey to become a teacher. Completing his last year in the classroom in 2005, he surveyed other teachers. What these teachers had to say was insightful and disturbing. Along with other insights into our current society and culture, the book provides a great deal of food for thought. If you have children, grandchildren or just care about where America is headed, this book is a must-read.
