Stubborn Hope: Memoir of an Urban Teacher is a unique portrait of
two decades of teaching in an urban high school, and an inside look
at the effects of the new reforms on urban education. Sometimes
humorously, sometimes painfully, the author describes the struggles
and achievements of some exceptional young people. Interspersed
with the portraits are lessons learned about teaching in an urban
environment: class management; homework and literacy; the art, not
science, of teaching. Finally, the author describes the route her
school has taken over the last two decades of changing reforms. In
the era of small learning communities, the huge, old school rises
from chaos to success. Then, with the onset of No Child Left Behind
and Race to the Top, it plunges into a morass as bad or worse than
the situation she encountered twenty years before. What worked in
the past is being replaced by a system that punishes and betrays
students. It's happening across the country. The book concludes
with a warning: before any more damage is done, we need to return
to the values that created public education in America.
