How was your day at school? Well, let's see: Student bites teacher; student spits into administrator's face; students openly swear at teacher; teachers are told to raise test scores or look for employment elsewhere. Thoughts & Lamentations is an extended poetic narrative documenting these and other challenges confronting the typical Urban Educator during a typical school year. Often funny, often serious, always instructive, it brings to life the hazards awaiting those who choose to be Urban Educators. People and situations characterized throughout T&L are belligerent students, supercilious administrators, hostile working environment and conditions, and overwrought teachers burdened with the realities of NCLB. Any current teacher and anyone even thinking about becoming a teacher need to read this book and seriously re-examine their motivations for remaining or becoming an educator.
