In What Went Right: Lessons from Both Sides of the Teacher's Desk
co-authors Roberta Israeloff and George McDermott resume a
conversation they began in 1967-when she was in eleventh grade at
Syosset (N.Y.) High School and he was her English teacher. In 2014,
after finding each other on Facebook, they began an email
correspondence-as contemporaries, rather than student and
teacher-and quickly discovered that neither had ever stopped
thinking about that school and the many ways it influenced them. As
they shared their impressions of how and why public education has
changed since then, they realized that a single academic year can
have a deeper and longer-lasting impact than they had ever
imagined. Personal and probing, evocative and wide-ranging, the
letters that compose this book ask and attempt to answer some
timeless-and timely-questions: What makes a teacher or a class
memorable? How can the teacher-student relationship be supported
and strengthened? What does being "educated" truly mean? And,
perhaps most important, what role can free public education play in
sustaining our democracy?
