The Good Lessons: A Teaching life with gangs, delinquents & troubled teens

By Arturo Hernandez-Sametier

Hard-won lessons from a lifetime as a teacher and principal working with gang members in Los Angeles, Oakland, and Indian Country reservations. The stories are gripping and instructive as radical interventions turn education on its head, and urban and Native communities refuse to give up or give-in. A tough, inspiring and highly original take on troubled, alienated and violent youth.
