by Lisa Grahm (Author)
Riding this bus are the first graders of Room 212, their teacher, and an assortment of school-affiliated adults. As teaching and learning continue throughout another academic year, classes are accompanied by unusual lessons: from an egg-laying chicken, resident cockroaches, six-year-old childhood loose teeth, bathroom emergencies, attempted suicide, and even a boiler explosion. The ride is often hilarious, sometimes sad, and always true.
For insights into the real world of inner-city public school teaching, come ride beside the teacher. Notice the roles POVERTY plays in children's education. And notice First Grade success in spite of it.
