Misplaced Blame: Decades of Failing Schools, Their Children and Their Teachers examines the underlying causes of why schools fail. The book describes the challenges that teachers and their pupils encounter in an environment that is dictated by poverty and harsh, unfunded mandates. The volume illustrates that school failure reflects a lack of opportunities—nothing more. The book also discusses the changing role of teachers over the years and teacher-led efforts to improve their students’ circumstances.
Bonnie Johnson teaches undergraduate and graduate classes in curriculum and instruction and education specialties at St. John’s University in New York City. Dr. Johnson is the author of numerous books, book chapters, and journal articles that address the impact of poverty on learning.
