Has anyone read, “White Teacher” by Vivian G. Paley.?

Its about a white teacher who enjoyed working in an urban setting with mixed children. I need some input from other readers so I can start the paper. What did you get out of this book and her technique? I found it boring and a 4 pg paper is due…help!

I had to read it as a Master’s of Education student. Like you, I didn’t enjoy it quite as much as when I read the book. However, now that I am the “white teacher,” a lot of it rings true….to provide you with a specific example is difficult because it’s been 5 years….but I think that what I would get out of it now is that sometimes the people that you feel you have nothing in common with can end up teaching you the most life lessons (both teachers and students)…..I will have to revisit the book, and then hopefully I can help you more!

Good luck though!
