Description:

Here, Michael Allen, focuses on the personal and social issues that students bring to school each day, which impacts his/her education. This book teaches educators how to identify and protect themselves against the common pitfalls found in diverse schools where underlying philosophical and social differences can unknowingly bring tensions that can be transmitted from one student, to many. Based on real-life stories, this book takes a hard and poignant, yet often humorous, look at a different side of education, presenting a fresh perspective on the challenges of school reform by remembering who educators are there to serve the students.
