Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Why would a high school teacher who loves teaching leave school-after half a career in the classroom?Teacher at Point Blankanswers this question at a time when concerns about school performance, safety, and teacher attrition are at an all-time and often anxious high. Meditating on subtle and overt forms of violence in secondary public education from an up-close and "pink collar" point of view, Jo Scott-Coe examines her own workplace as a microcosm of the national compulsory K-12 system, where teachers-now nearly 80% women-find themselves idealized and disparaged, expected to embody the dedication of parents, the coldness of data managers, and the obedience of Stepford spouses. Haunted and compelled forward by memories of a classmate who commits suicide on campus, a former teacher-colleague who dies all alone, Hollywood fantasies of the "ideal teacher," and chronic reports of school violence and increasing gender crime, Scott-Coe reveals how her hopes, past and present, struggle for breath at the point blank of denial, confinement, addiction, isolation, hostility, subliminal eroticism-and, at times, a healthy dose of fear.Jo Scott Coe's very fine memoir of her teaching life is unlike anything I have read before.Her lean prose is unyielding to sentimentality and aspires always toward honesty about our lives as adults and as children.One is, here, in the presence of a writer who convinces us that teaching young lives is a constant and, sometimes, terrible journey of adult self-discovery.-Richard Rodriguez, author ofBrown: The Last Discovery of AmericaThis unique and daring bookliftsthe cheerful, can-do mask thathides the reality of what it means to be a teacher.In luminous prose, Jo Scott-Coedebunks the sentimentalized mystique, exposing the harsh reality of extreme expectations,isolation, andpsychic disconnect that engulfsteachers' lives. Scott-Coe's truth is at once disturbing and emancipating.-Susan Ohanian, author ofWhy Is Corporate America Bashing Our Public Schools?Jo Scott-Coe writes with humor, insight, and a deep love for her subject. In many ways, she has become a voice for her generation and for teachers, too. Remarkable.- Chris Abani, author ofGraceLandandThe Virgin of Flames Weaving together lyrical, satiric reportage and experimental narratives, Scott-Coe defies clichs and cultural fantasies about teachers and schools.

Hardback. Condizione: New. 2025 San Antonio Conservation Society Publication AwardUnheard Witness foregrounds a young woman's experience of domestic abuse, resistance, and survival before the mass shooting at the University of Texas at Austin in 1966. In 1966, Kathy Leissner Whitman was a twenty-three-year-old teacher dreaming of a better future. She was an avid writer of letters, composing hundreds in the years before she was stabbed to death by her husband, Charles Whitman, who went on to commit a mass shooting from the tower at the University of Texas at Austin. Kathy's writing provides a rare glimpse of how one woman described, and sought to change, her short life with a coercive, controlling, and violent partner. Unheard Witness provides a portrait of Kathy's life, doing so at a time when Americans are slowly grasping the link between domestic abuse and mass shootings. Public violence often follows violence in the home, yet such private crimes continue to be treated separately and even erased in the public imagination. Jo Scott-Coe shows how Kathy's letters go against the grain of the official history, which ignored Kathy's perspective. With its nuanced understanding of abuse and survival, Unheard Witness is an intimate, real-time account of trust and vulnerability-in its own way, a prologue to our age of atrocities.…
