Klappentext America often touts its most successful teacher stories, in this powerful memoir Lanier illuminates a more common experience of "Teaching For America” with thoughtful complexity, a poet's eye, and an engaging voice. As hard as Lanier worked to become a competent teacher, she found that in "The Terrordome”, idealism wasn't enough. To persevere, she had to rely on grit, humility, a little comedy, and a willingness to look failure in the face.
