Reseña del editor:

This book depicts how education systems and philosophies have changed through the decades, but how the importance of knowledge of basic facts is still the same. In this day of computers, calculators and other electronic devices it is still essential that a child be taught the basics of reading, writing, spelling mathematics and communication. This foundation must be formed in the elementary school. So that middle school and high school teachers have a solid basis on which to build. Some education is primarily academic as shown in my stories of Big Girl Dora and Attentive Betty. There are other skills, attitudes and acceptable behavior patterns that need to be learned, no matter how bright a child might be, as depicted in the stories of Belligerent Marilyn and Brilliant Robby.

Biografía del autor:

Marie L. Greenwood, 95 grew up in the Denver Public School system. She graduated from West High School and was third in her class of 257. She received a scholarship to Colorado Teachers College in Greeley, Colorado. She became the first African American female teacher to be given a contract in the Denver Public School system. She became tenured in 1938 and taught in Denver for thirty years. http://editweb.dpsk12.org/greenwood/stories/storyReader$61 "I taught First Grade for thirty years in the Denver Public Schools. I believe it is there that one lays the beginning of a sound education foundation upon which a child can continue to learn successfully. The children I have written about in this book depict only a few of the many challenges I faced and how I did my best, for the good of each child, to solve whatever the problem might have been.No matter what ethnic make-up of my classes were, those were my children; we were always one big family. There are recordings of my life story and achievements, but this is the first time that I have written about some of my specific teaching experiences that might be helpful to other educators.Teaching First Grade was the joy of my life and because of my pioneering and trailblazing, I now have a Denver Public School named in my honor" - ""Marie L.
