They Eat Their Young: The Character Assassination of A Teacher!

During the years of 1995–2008, I fought the law (secondary school administrators), and the law won. I taught with my heart and not my head. I gave my all but did not know this was not allowed. I was nominated Teacher of the Year twice. Yet I lost it because I was teaching out of my area. I left twice in the middle of the year, well, three times because the law was not doing its job.

This is a book I feel every new teacher or even a veteran should read. It is a tell-all, no holds barred, except changing the names and locations to protect from any lawsuits.

At first, I labeled this "Teaching Black While White" because many districts I worked in were minority based or "At Risk." Now I must warn my readers; this is a male Caucasin teacher not realizing this game is ruled by the opposite sex. Though most of my enemies were male principals. I will be able to give you some subtle guides as to what to do and what not to do at any school.

This book is dedicated to students everywhere who are stereotyped as low achievers. Also to teachers or educators who are thinking of giving up, don't give them the satisfaction. Stay in the game!
