Depicted variously as heroes, villains, or victims, America's
teachers find themselves at the center of a sometimes nasty policy
debate. Yet, while politicians, reformers, and pundits contribute
to the cacophony that serves as our national conversation about
education, those who teach our children everyday are barely heard
over the noise. This beautifully written book highlights working
teachers speaking on many key educational problems under debate as
well as many of the controversial solutions put forth, including
revamped teacher evaluations, curricular standardization, and
increased testing and data collection. Anthropologist Catherine
Lutz and high school teacher Anne Lutz Fernandez traveled the
country to meet a wide range of educators on the frontlines of
teaching across diverse contexts from traditional public schools to
charters to the home school; early in careers and near retirement;
in city, town, suburb, and country. What they learned about
teaching and learning provides critical insights not just for
educators but for anyone interested in American education.
