Publishers Weekly,`` Christine Zajac teaches fifth grade in a racially mixed school in a poor district of Holyoke, Mass. . . . Through Kidder's calmly detailed re-creation of Zajac's daily round we come to know her students' fears and inmost strivings; we also share this teacher's frustrations, loneliness and the rush of satisfaction that comes with helping students learn,'' wrote PW. ``A compelling microcosm of what is wrong--and right--with our educational system.''

Product details

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

"Among School Children is more than a book about needy children and a valiant teacher; it is full of the author's genuine love, delight and celebration of the human condition." --New York Times Book Review

Tracy Kidder--the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Soul of a New Machine and the extraordinary national bestseller House--spent nine months in Mrs. Zajac's fifth-grade classroom in the depressed "Flats" of Holyoke, Massachusetts. For an entire year he lived among twenty schoolchildren and their indomitable, compassionate teacher--sharing their joys, their catastrophes, and their small but essential triumphs.

As a result, he has written a revealing, remarkably poignant account of education in America.
