I write books to change
the world. Perhaps I can only change one little piece of that world. But if I

has been worth it.

is a weapon of mass destruction. Joblessness is a weapon of mass destruction,
homelessness, a weapon of mass destruction... racism, a weapon of mass destruction,

commitment to quality public schools and dedicated teachers and good housing and
quality health care and decent jobs and stronger neighborhoods.

here because somebody - a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony or a few nuns
- bent down and helped us pick up our boots.

"I

The greatest sign of success
for a teacher... is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did
