Official synopsis Publisher
Even in one of the wealthiest districts in America, Douglas County School District, Colorado, a little corner is reserved for the disinterested, discouraged, and deemed “at-risk” student. Night high school Eagle Academy, operating for over 16 years without its own building, has served nearly a thousand students on whom many others had given up hope. Anthonette Klinkerman served as an English teacher for a decade, and in this book presents some of the hard-to-believe stories, improbable triumphs, and amusing anecdotes from within those borrowed walls. Alternative education just means a different pathway to high school success, an elusive idea for some students until they walked through the doors. Klinkerman continues to teach in the nationally known district because she loves her students, her teachers husband, and her student daughter. This collection of vignettes about the alternative education experience through a teacher’s eyes is sure to warm hearts.
