520    "On his first day as a substitute teacher, Cinque 
       Henderson was cursed and yelled at by a class of 11th 
       graders. One kid openly threatened him. Cinque, not 
       wanting trouble, called the hall monitor, who escorted the
       student to the office. But five minutes later, the office 
       sent him back. He carried a note that simply read, "ok to 
       return to class." That was it: no suspension, no detention,
       no phone call home, no picking up trash after school, no 
       sidebar conversation with the office to figure out how 
       they could intervene. In the generation since Henderson 
       had gone to public school in a poor black town in the 
       rural South, the world had undergone dramatic change. Sit 
       Down and Shut Up: How Discipline Can Set Children Free, 
       part memoir, part jeremiad, is a passionate and personal 
       analysis of that change, the story of Henderson's single 
       year as substitute teacher in some of America's toughest 
       schools. Henderson found that the culprits for the 
       failures of our worst schools weren't some endless stream 
       of unqualified teachers, but rather the result of 
       population in crisis. He soon came to see that public 
       school classrooms were hothouse laboratories/microcosms--
       chaotic, teeming, vibrant, tough--of all our nation's most
       vexing issues of race and class. Beneath the surface, the 
       legacy and stain of race--the price of generational trauma,
       the cost of fatherlessness, the failures of capitalism, 
       the false promise of meritocracy--played itself out in 
       every single interaction Henderson had. Henderson also 
       found solutions, namely a recommitment to the notion that 
       discipline--emotional, psychological, behavioral and moral
       --wisely and properly understood, patiently and justly 
       administered--was the only proper route to freedom and 
       opportunity for generations of poor youth"--|cProvided by
