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.

Every page speaks to us about what we must do above all in our schools if democracy and equality (which must go hand in hand) are to be truly lived. . . . Hawkes’s work has always been relevant, needed, and unusual in its sensitivity to issues that arise in schools and society, including racism and much more. And he knows how to write in a language that speaks to us both movingly and urgently. . . . Hawkes plays with all these big ideas through actual stories based on his experiences as a teacher and principal of adolescents, the latter in both urban New York City and rural Vermont. I can’t get enough of the book, and I suspect many of you will read it with the same pain and pleasure that I did. Over and over again.
