"Be an opener of doors for such as come after thee." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
Letters To A Young Teacher
For more than forty years, Jonathan Kozol has taught in, worked with, and written about America's inner city public schools. His straight talk in best-selling books such as Savage Inequalities and Amazing Grace has made him a hero of many teachers, and he fiercely opposes policies he believes perpetuate educational inequities. In Letters to a Young Teacher, Kozol writes a series of personal letters to Francesca, a fledgling first-grade teacher in Boston who invited him into her classroom, Kozol delivers sage advice, sharp criticism of the status quo, and stories of his own early teaching experiences.
