About this book
The story of public education in the early 21st century through the eyes of a well-respected educator and his fight against an over-zealous administration's efforts to strip its teachers of all their individuality. Both exposé and memoir, this is the tale of one man's search for the perfect career and what turned that perfect career into a struggle to maintain a teacher's ability to create his or her own curriculum, based on years of experience, instead of a one size fits all model that was being shoved down our throats by administrators who were bowing to pressure from parents as well as their own ill-conceived feelings of superiority. Do you want to know why the number of teachers are leaving the profession in greater numbers than ever before? This is the story of what started it all.
