"Teachers are detectives and social workers. If you want to connect with kids of color, move into their neighborhood and listen to their struggles. Give them voice."
"Michie shares stories from his Chicago classroom that are in turn horrifying and heart-warming. To an urban educator, these stories are familiar. He makes a strong case for meeting our students where they are, and basing our teaching on strong relationships."
"Read this in my graduate teaching program and was just reminded of it by a classmate in a course I'm currently taking. Definitely an inspiring read for teachers and anyone with an interest in education and social justice."
"When I first ended up with this book for a class in my teaching license program, I sort of groaned and thought "Oh great... Another book written by a white teacher who worked in an inner city Chicago school." This book is so much more than that. Michie is a great teacher. He genuinely cares for his students, models professionalism, learns about his students' cultures and lives, admits his mistakes, and goes above and beyond the call of his job. This book is engaging, funny and inspiring. I love that he asked his students to write about their experiences and included their stories in the book."
