This book tells the story of what it is like to be a teacher in today's classrooms. You will laugh, cry, get angry, be shocked, and then wonder how did the schools in this great country of ours plummet to the "bottom" of the international rating list. It challenges politicians and budget cutters, policy scribes and tax payers (parents) to stop hiding behind teachers and fix the public schools. It challenges the school hierarchy and looks at corruption within the walls of the schools. It makes clear that teachers are not the culprits, but the innocent bystanders.
