Why We Teach Now dares to challenge current notions of what it
means to be a "highly qualified teacher" a la No Child Left Behind,
and demonstrates the depth of commitment and care teachers bring to
their work with students, families, and communities. This sequel to
Nieto's popular book, Why We Teach, features powerful stories of
classroom teachers from across the country as they give witness to
their hopes and struggles to teach our nation's children. Why We
Teach Now offers us the voices of teachers like 42-year veteran
Mary Ginley, who wonders, "Why would anyone with any brains and
imagination ever want to be a teacher?" Who then answers her own
question affirmatively, "It's because somehow, even today, even
with all the insanity, all the rules, all the poorly designed
textbooks, all the directives to teach to the test, there are kids
out there who need good teachers." At a time when politicians,
policymakers, and philanthropists are quick to denigrate teachers'
work and arrogantly speak for the profession,Why We Teach Now
offers teachers the room and respect to speak for themselves. Once
again, Nieto gives teachers and those who care about education the
inspiration and energy to embrace their role as advocates-a role
that is vital not only for the well-being of students but also for
the future of the profession and our nation.
