We hear so much about the declining quality of education in America. Well, this is a story about the opposite viewpoint. Here is a young teacher, teaching in the depressed "flats" of Holyoke, Massachusets. She shares their joys, catastrophes and their small but significant triumphs. Makes one appreciate those teachers who really do care about the kids..... A wonderful story. You'll love it!
