Where Are We Now? This is a 1970 book reprinted with additional comments. It describes how racism in the schools and community of San Bernardino, California damaged the victims and the victimizers. You can evaluate how much has changed in the schools in thirty years.
Updating book.
Rereading what I had researched, lived, and wrote made me proud of what I had attempted to do in 1970. Teaching mainly Hispanic children from 1996 - 2001, I realized that, although things have improved for minorities, we still have a way to go.
Say NO to NCLB!
My books are not THE answer, because there isNO single answer. However, they show what worked and still is working for me and proves that when teachers are given the autonomy to be creative that they can find solutions to meet the unique needs of their classes and of individual children. The constricting laws, rules, and policies IMPOSED by the NCLB definitely are not THE answer!
