Detailed item info

Synopsis
The story of Horace Smith, a (fictional) veteran teacher, who, though dedicated, finds his job overwhelming. The day-to-day experiences of school ring true, and Sizer's book serves as a good analysis of the problems in schools at the end of the 1990s. This is the first in a trilogy, followed by "Horace's School" and "Horace's Hope".

Publisher's Note
Originally published in 1984, this book has become a classic in the field of education reform. The message in Horace's Complaint is even more relevant today, as it presents a revealing and often troubling picture of the current school environment, as seen from both the teachers' and the students' points of view. The first volume in Sizer's trilogy of books about education reform, " Horace's Compromise" is a call to arms that led to the creation of Sizer's Coalition of Essential Schools, the leading institution of education reform.
