Description
Save Them All contains true and shocking stories of underprivileged and
troubled kids living in the beautiful bay area of northern California. The book
is written with empathy, irony, a touch of comedy and gives deep insight into
the lives of everyday kids, political issues, struggles facing our public school
teachers and the societal issues that bring on many of these problems.
Many of the stories contain disturbing accounts of the issues facing the day
to day lives of the “at risk” students and the struggles of a rookie teacher
contending with the conflict between her desire to contribute and the reality
of society’s failures. Topics are suicide, street gangs, drug abuse, murder,
racism, child abuse and neglect and the struggles that many everyday public
school teachers are faced with.
This book is not a condemnation of our public schools but is meant to be insight
into the realities that politicians and society refuse to address. This book is a
must read if you care about kids, schools, the politics of education and how to
make a difference. Save Them All will shock and inspire, educate and entertain,
create laughter and tears and possibly influence the reader to implement
change. All names have been changed for privacy and confidentiality.
