In this insightfully honest and moving memoir about the realities of teaching in an inner-city school, Ed Boland “smashes the dangerous myth of the hero-teacher [and] shows us how high the stakes are for our most vulnerable students” (Piper Kerman, author of Orange is the New Black).
In the end, Boland isn’t hoisted on his students’ shoulders and no one passes AP anything. This is no urban fairy tale of at-risk kids saved by a Hollywood hero, but a searing indictment of schools that claim to be progressive but still fail their students.
Told with compassion, humor, and a keen eye, Boland’s story is sure to ignite debate about the future of American education and attempts to reform it.
