41] -- On Wed., Apr. 13 at 7:30 PM come to Red Emma's
Bookstore Coffeehouse, 30 W. North Ave., Baltimore 21201, as BILL AYERS will
talk about his book TEACHING WITH CONSCIENCE IN AN IMPERFECT WORLD. How do we
see our schools and the project of education? Is this the best we can do? What
would we like our schools to become? How might we get there? In this
provocative book, Bill Ayers invites us to dream of schools in which each child
“is of infinite and incalculable value.” Blending personal anecdotes with
critique of the state of education, this beautifully written little book is
filled with big ideas that explore the challenges and opportunities for an
education system that desperately needs repair. Teaching with Conscience
in an Imperfect World is an urgent call to action and a plan to help
educators, policymakers, and parents to stretch toward something new and
dramatically better—schools that are more joyful and more just, more balanced
and more guided by the power of love. Call
443-602-7585. Go to http://www.redemmas.org.
