A Terrible Beauty: What Teachers Know but Seldom Discuss Outside the Staffroom

Posted:

After twenty years in the classroom, Dai O'Connel refuses either to lower standards or to implement the feel-good nonsense. As a result he is targeted for dismissal. Sent to document his failings is Solange Gonsalvás, Oregon's youngest assistant superintendent. Known both for breathtaking attractiveness and her dedication to the job, she is relentless in pursuit of incompetent teachers. Solange finds O'Connel nothing like she expects. Principled, confident, very good at what he does, Dai is not the kind of teacher Solange forces from the classroom—but more than competence is at stake. District politicos demand O'Connel's ouster, and if Solange wants the top job, she must take his. Can she do it? Review: "Heated debate on the current dismal state of public education..." Booklist
