Among Schoolchildren by Kidder, Tracy
Filed under: Non-Fiction | Buy on Amazon
Kidder puts you in the classroom and lets you see and experience everything that happens in Chris Zajak's fifth grade class in Holyoke, Massachusetts.
So many students are victims of the class-ism and racism that pits the upper-middle class white students against the working class Puerto Rican students. I found myself blessed by the ease of learning in my own fifth grade class (which would have been around the same time this book was written) and much more appreciative of hard working teachers.
