What Educators Can Learn from Chris Zajac: Observations on "Among Schoolchildren."
Horton, Lowell
Educational Leadership, v47 n8 p82-83 May 1990
Reviews Tracy Kidder's latest bestseller, an engaging account of the daily experiences of one fifth grade teacher and her students in a deteriorating neighborhood in a rustbelt community. Teacher Chris Zajac is a pragmatist with little time for esoteric learning theory. Although Chris is warm, caring, and skillful, her school is not meeting students' needs. (MLH)
