My Teacher Story

Samuel R. Lee offers a holistic approach in this stinging critique of America's typical inner city middle school.

Lee also sheds light on what works in our schools and what changes are needed. His teacher story will shock you, but it will also instill hope and inspiration for a better future for our students and public education system. This story is a must-read for educators, policy makers, and the public at large.
