TEACH ME!Kids Will Learn When Oppression is the
Lesson “In this passionate, provocative,
and important book, Murray Levin provides an imaginative and workable way of
reaching the students that our educational system is failing. Written with
warmth, humor, and extraordinary insight, Teach Me! is a book that
will change the way teachers think.” “Murray Levin starts with a
brilliant idea—to probe the political and social thought of
African-American and Latino teenagers who are not supposed to have such
thoughts—and fulfills it. The result is totally compelling, an education
for the reader. Teach Me! is an original.” “With disarming honesty, Murray
Levin shares what he learned about his students, as well as what they managed
to teach him. These young people are a wonder, sometimes inchoate, often
sharply insightful and gloriously poetic. Levin is a wonder, too, because he
found within himself the warmth, imagination, and intelligence to figure out
how to speak to them.” “Teach Me! is gripping
reading for anyone interested in the lives of our forgotten inner-city youth.
Murray Levin engages his students to learn to think critically and to share
their sometimes fantastic, and yet often sophisticated, understanding of
politics. Levin's warmth, compassion, and wisdom provide a prescription for
educators to reach our most vulnerable youngsters. This devastating yet hopeful
insight into their lives cannot fail to deeply move the reader.”
