The best book on teachers and children and writing that I've ever read is "Some Kids I Taught and What They Taught Me" by Kate Clanchy. No one has said better so much of what so badly needs saying. - Philip Pullman
Kate Clanchy is a passionate educator who believes that schools are the perfect platform to bring about positive change in the world. In this captivating book, she invites readers to meet some of the remarkable kids she has taught during her thirty-year career. Join her as she embarks on a journey of exploration, teaching everything about sex to a classroom of thirteen-year-olds. She also works in the school's "Inclusion Unit," striving to improve the fortunes of students who have been excluded from regular lessons due to their incredible ability to disrupt learning in an instant. Additionally, she nurtures a multicultural poetry group, full of migrants and refugees, witnessing them find their voice and create work of heartbreaking brilliance.
While Clanchy acknowledges the occasional stinging humiliations and painful accidents that may occur in the classroom, she celebrates the teaching profession as one of the most creative, passionate, and practically useful jobs. Unfortunately, teaching today is often demeaned, diminished, and drastically under-resourced. "Some Kids I Taught and What They Taught Me" aims to showcase why teaching should not be underestimated or undervalued.
This remarkable book has been honored with the Orwell Prize for Political Writing 2020, a testament to its profound impact and significance.
