Description
"Real Teachers is brought to us by a real teacher, a discerning elder who knows how to mine gold from the ground of everyday experience. You may not recognize the names of all of her contributors — and that's precisely the point, to share these powerful nuggets of wisdom from sometimes unknown and sometimes unlikely sources."
Chris Mercogliano, Director of The Free School in Albany; Author of Making It Up as We Go Along, Teaching the Restless, and How to Grow a School
"Real Teachers; Real Teaching is a treasure and Mary is a genius, a genuinely important figure in modern educational history. I imagine there will be some jerks who won't buy this book but don't you be one of them, hear?"
John Taylor Gatto, Author Underground History of American Education, Dumbing Us Down, and A Different Kind of Teacher
"Mary Leue has done it again! She's created a buffet of delicious stories in a new book called Real Teachers; Real Teaching – In Their Own Words. Each story and article stands on its own. When I read it on the plane I found myself wanting to show the articles to fellow passengers. So get your own buffet! Enjoy!"
Jerry Mintz, Director of AERO and Author of No Homeword and Recess All Day
"Mary has gathered together some extraordinarily passionate and insightful writings on the meaning of education in the modern world. This collection presents the essence, the vital heart, of the cultural movement we know as "alternative education." I hope it will reach new audiences and introduce them to these ways of thinking."
Ron Miller, Ph.D, Author of Free Schools, Free People and What Are Schools For?
