Skullcaps 'n' Switchblades

Author Dr. David Lazerson is not ashamed to document his fears, mistakes, and apprehensions in this well-written memoir regarding his first year of teaching. Because of this, Skullcaps ‘n’ Switchblades is a compelling book, full of heart, humor, and realism.

This story is about a sincerely committed Orthodox Jew who is hired to teach learning disabled students in an inner-city school. He puts it best when he asks himself the question, “Can skullcaps & switchblades ever learn to get along?”
