Teachers Have 9 Lives is the culmination of over twenty years of journal-keeping. It’s an open book on the pressing realities about America’s Teachers and their far-reaching impact on American society. 9 Lives is an underground-to-surface exposure, disclosing many within-the-teaching-field secrets and adversarial school district management retaliatory tactics. Ms. Hope paints a captivating 9 Lives picture that moves beyond teaching to explore everyday life, demystify the world of education, challenge stereotypes, and question the status quo. With honesty, humor, compelling style, and fluid creativity, 9 Lives thrives in the dark setting of America’s underfunded and often ignored public schools.
