- Synopsis
- Foote, a freelance journalist, provides a narrative illustration of the Teach for America program within the framework of a poor, largely-neglected Los Angeles school. Teach for America, since its founding in 1990, has sought to provide better educational opportunities for disadvantaged children. The book chronicles a year in the life of the school through the eyes of four of Teach for America's briefly-trained, but idealistic corps members who relate their frustrating, maddening, and exhilarating experiences in the classrooms.
