36 CHILDREN SUMMARY

• This is the remarkable true account of an
  innovative and open-minded young teachers year
  with a Harlem sixth-grade class. Herbert Kohls
  shocking revelations and insightful solutions to
  the problems of an urban school shook the
  foundations of education . He was warned that
  his students were unmanageable and unteachable.
  With the atmosphere of trust that he created, the
  classroom became a sanctuary that allowed the
  students to confront the poverty and violence of
  their everyday lives and discover the
  possibilities of a world beyond Harlem. By the
  years end, the class had made a dramatic leap in
  intellectual and creative achievement.
