520 "In this powerful, eloquent story of his return to the
classroom, a former teacher offers a rousing defense of
his beleaguered vocation Perhaps no profession is so
constantly discussed, regulated, and maligned by non-
practitioners as teaching. The voices of the teachers
themselves are conspicuously missing. Defying this trend,
teacher and writer Garret Keizer takes us to school--
literally--in this arresting account of his return to the
same rural Vermont high school where he taught fourteen
years ago.Much has changed since then--a former student is
his principal, standardized testing is the reigning god,
and smoking in the boys' room has been supplanted by
texting in the boys' room. More familiar are the effects
of poverty, the exuberance of youth, and the staggering
workload that technology has done as much to increase as
to lighten. Telling the story of Keizer's year in the
classroom, Getting Schooled takes us everywhere a teacher
might go: from field trips to school plays to town
meetings, from a kid's eureka moment to a parent's dark
night of the soul.At once fiercely critical and deeply
contemplative, Keizer exposes the obstacles that teachers
face daily--and along the way takes aim at some cherished
cant: that public education is doomed, that the heroic
teacher is the cure for all that ails education, that
educational reform can serve as a cheap substitute for
societal reformation.Angry, humorous, and always hopeful,
Getting Schooled is as good an argument as we are likely
to hear for a substantive reassessment of our schools and
those who struggle in them"--|cProvided by publisher.
