will education make the grade?
L. Pete Bishop, having spent 32 years in public education as a teacher, coach, and administrator, wrote a revealing and entertaining book about a year in an inner-city high school in the midwest.
In this fictionalized memoir, Principal Wilber Packer tries to empower his teachers to help him turn around a low-performing school. Along the way, "Pack" faces more than he bargained for as gangs, board members, and a few parents had their own agendas.
L. Pete Bishop has a message for parents, coaches, teachers, and administrators and it's enterainingly and profoundly told in The Principal of the Thing.
