Young people today know trouble from a host of sources: poverty, sexism and racism; the storms of a climate in turmoil; the loss of loved-ones to incarceration, addiction and suicide. This book is about the role that teachers can play in helping our young people transcend these troubles, honor the pain they feel, and channel their aggression in productive directions. But counseling and anti-bullying programs are not enough. The key is to open up the very content of the curriculum to the emotional life of the whole child.
T. Elijah Hawkes has been a public school teacher and principal for more than two decades, in urban, rural and small town school communities. His writings about adolescence, public schools and democracy have appeared in various books, magazines, and online publications.
