"Out-of-School Tales of a Reluctant Educator" ... is a brilliant,
insightful, vivid, heartwarming narrative of a reluctant teacher's
attempt to navigate the sometimes treacherous and rollicking waters
of adolescence. Page had never wanted to be a teacher. She was out
of work, there was a teacher shortage, and Milltown High School
needed a teacher. She had no training, no coursework, knew nothing
about adolescents, and, besides teaching world history and American
geography, she was charged to teach first and second year Spanish
even though she could barely speak a word. "Out-of-School Tales,"
starting with Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech, spans forty-two
years of poignant, unexpected, sometimes scary, and mostly
hilarious events; the adolescent escapades might remind you of your
own. At the same time, woven throughout is historical context and a
portrait of how a teacher develops her ability to teach. From Billy
giving her a very strange gift that he had crafted in shop class,
to Page joining her neighbors in chasing two fat pigs down a
country road in Vermont, there isn't a dull moment. It's history,
it's sociology, it's education, it's all about adolescents. It
might make you laugh and it might make you cry a little.
