Written by an elementary principal in a poor, urban neighbourhood
in the United States, The Least of These recounts a year in the
life of a school and challenges the proposition that school reform
can be achieved smoothly. The author describes the conditions of
the children's lives and those of the people who struggle to help
them. Her account is a moving narrative depicting poverty, violence
and neglect, and the teachers' struggle to offset these dismal
conditions. The book highlights the restrictions facing the school
which result from a large bureaucracy and a powerful teachers'
union.
