After an impressive career in journalism, David S. Awbrey became a middle-school social studies teacher in Springfield, Missouri, a typical American community that he uses as a compelling case study to explore many of the social and academic problems facing education nationwide.
Unlike most "what I learned by teaching school" books, David Awbrey's is beautifully written, uncommonly perceptive and extraordinarily sensible in diagnosing what ails public education in the U.S. and how to cure it.
