Guilt, Government, and Grades: Musings from the Shore of the Main Stream
Crutcher, Chris
Voices from the Middle, v13 n4 p7-9 May 2006
Crutcher, an advocate for children above all else, revisits a few of the most urgent issues facing teachers--Censorship, "No Child Left Without Life Threatening Test Anxiety," Zero Tolerance, to name a few--and an encouraging word about addressing them. He believes teachers "have the toughest job in our culture," and urges them to "rise up . . . get together" and speak with powerful voices to those who would make decisions without the expertise to make the best ones.
