Searching for Malumba: Why Teaching is Terrible... and Why We Do It Anyway - Paperback

by Luther M. Siler (Author)

Luther M. Siler's long-awaited book about teaching, SEARCHING FOR MALUMBA collects nearly 150 of the best of his essays and blog posts from 15 years of writing about American urban education. At times hilarious, sad, furious, horrifying, and touching, as well as frequently profane, Siler's writings shed a light on the reality of teaching in America's urban schools during the reign of the No Child Left Behind act and the rise of standardized teaching.
