"Public Schools Have Stories Too!" by Jacqueline L. Smith
ISBN 978-1-60264-883-8 (softcover) $14.95.
Many teachers and parents agree that a lot has changed
in the school setting over the years. Unexpected issues,
emotional concerns and peer pressure can get in the way of
education. This makes it crucial for parents and school
officials to listen to students as they are trying to
express their concerns. Although many students find it
difficult to talk to their parents and teachers, they often
realize help is necessary to navigate the problems they
face every day. This book can be helpful for parents,
students and teachers who are looking for answers in
today's society.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I wrote this book to share true stories about the
problems students face in public schools. When I was in
public school in Brooklyn, New York, and Boston,
Massachusetts, I became reluctant to go to class due to
the problems I faced. Even though it wasn’t always easy,
I met and learned from many good teachers and students.
This book focuses on the many challenges students face
every day. Many students are reluctant to talk about them
and think parents and teachers “just don’t understand.” I
hope this book will help bridge that gap and allow students
to realize parents and teachers faced the same pressures
and difficulties during their formative years and can use
their experiences to help.
