The author provides an account of her initiation into the teaching profession by spending a year in a ghetto school that is completely understaffed and out of control. We learn of her struggles to understand the children and to master the art of making the classroom work, her discovery of the actual conditions under which her students live, and her sincere effort to make things better in their lives. As a product of NYC schools in lower-class, but not ghetto, neighborhoods, I was nevertheless shocked to learn of the lawlessness that prevailed and the hopelessness of the situation. Of course, I lived in a very different generation, with different values, and much better control of students. And I knew only my high school, integrated with kids from different neighborhoods, many of them quite poor (as my family was), but segregated by academic achievement into classes that were almost 100% white, and this provided a skewed perspective.
I gave Ms. Asquith's book a rating of five. It is a fair representation of life in neglected underfunded unsupported school divisions. Society's greatest gifts are its children and when we fail them we fail as a generation. As a retired educator I have seen a whole generation of parents ,politicians, and tax payers completely abdicate their responsibilities. Not one group can fix the diverse problems and complexities of educating today's youth. We all have to work together to fix our issues. One way is to respect and support(economically,emotionally,and professionally) people who are willing to go into this very demanding profession. Teachers who retain their passion and dedication are trained well,supported well,and paid well . When this happens everyone wins. Bandaid solutions, outrageous paperwork,not enough dollars spent in the right areas , and politicians who have never spent any time in a classroom dictating policy don't work as illustrated in this book.
In this book, a young journalists decides she wants to "make a difference in a child's life" - according to the teacher recruiting advertisements. She quits her job as a journalist and chooses to teach 6th grade in the lowest-performing school in Philadelphia - without any experience or training - or curriculum. She chronicles her year - the wins and the losses. As a middle school ESOL teacher, I found myself relating to her frustrations as well as the moments when the stars line up and you feel you've really touched a student. This book helps illustrate what is broken in many school systems, and how difficult the problems are to solve.
I was a new educator in the inner city recently. My school wasn’t as rough as the school depicted in this story, but some parts of this book rang very true to me. I felt I could relate to the book, and I wish I had read it in college.This book can be heart breaking for anyone passionate about education (teachers, parents, and community members). However, it also helps you understand the system some kids are functioning within, and it helps you have empathy towards those kids. Great read!
I was a teacher in an area similar to the one in this book. Nobody could have tried harder than Christina to make a difference for these kids but there were so many obstacles in her path. I would hope that exposing some of the problems in public education would get the message to the people who could help solve them. Getting and keeping qualified teachers is a must! They need the support of the administrators and the school district, with materials and services for their students. There needs to be help for the misbehaving students who can singlehandedly disrupt a whole class.
Emergency teachers being brought in because those with an educational degree are fleeing the system. Ms Asquith did the best she could under extremely hard circumstances. She showed love to her students, which is very important, but without supplies and training, she and other emergency teachers and underfunded teachers and schools are set up for failure. Eye opening book!
It is fair to note that had Christina Asquith taught in a more affluent part of Philadelphia or a middle class suburban community, she probably couldn't write a book about her one-year experience as a teacher. Before being trained as such (even trained teachers have to struggle in the beginning by learning on the job) she should not have accepted a teaching job from a district which would simply throw her to the wolves, as such. As she pointed out, a few teachers in this abysmal school were dynamic and great managers of their classes. And it seems true (was for me, at least) that it takes about three years to build ones teaching techniques--and maybe five years to really feel confident. But Asquith had an unfortunate placement in a tragically-run school.Nevertheless, Asquith's portrayal of the (reputed) worst school in Philadelphia (and too many others come close) is heart-rending and shocking, and the revelation an embarrassment to the district--let's hope.The author had it many times harder than I. How she held on for a full school year is a testament to her character in the face of the school district's incompetence. The book is more revelatory than inspirational, and though a fast and sometimes engrossing read it is rather depressing. I think a prospective teacher--who isn't desperate--would tend to not teach in a big-city public school after reading this account.I retired a few months before Asquith started her experiment in teaching, and my school (after at least 30 years of relative calm) was just starting to become infected by students creating bedlam in their classrooms and hallways. I had good control, was creative and motivational, but even my tolerence with the system forced me and other veterans in the school to take the early retirement incentive being offered by the state (so the district could hire two new teachers for the price of one veteran with higher degrees). We could see what was coming.Now, the reader will understand why 50 percent of new hires leave teaching within 3-5 years--the shorter time representing big-city public schools. Teaching can be very rewarding, but also one of the toughest jobs there is, and the emotional stress is equal to that of a police person "on the beat"--I've read.The following partial paragraph from page 98, gives a sense of the entire book:"I'd set out wholly single-mindedly to learn to teach, and suddenly my failure became a real possibility. I'd personally staked everything on suceeding, I'd given up my career, my Inguirer [Newspaper] friends... If I was failing and wasn't making a shred of difference, what was the point? How could I answer the question: How was your day?"The Creative Teacher: Activities for Language Arts (Grades 4 through 8 and Up)
