Description: "With a twist of faith, a once first grade student, now a professor, recalls her journey as a first grade student by interviewing her ninety-year-old first grade teacher. This faithful journey is a reflection of the past and the future of America's children who can and do learn when teachers teach, like Mary Craighead taught. This is the unique journey of a professor who spends time with her first grade teacher and is able to ask daring question that she can recall about the children in the classroom. How Mary taught can be a challenge to teachers today. Riveting questions are answered, like can black children really learn? And should Black teachers only teach Black children? And what secrets do good teachers know that others do not?"--Page 4 of cover.
