Overview

What happens when a dedicated educator is targeted by a broken system, not just by her administrators but by the very union meant to protect her? In Silent Struggles, Gwendolyn Sherman delivers a raw and unfiltered memoir that exposes the hidden injustices within our schools. She shares her harrowing experiences of workplace abuse, administrative retaliation, union betrayal, and systemic failures that pushed her to the brink but never broke her spirit.

It is a must-read for teachers, administrators, and advocates who believe in the power of education. It is a gripping story of courage in the face of adversity, exposing the harsh realities teachers face. It is an eye-opening account of corruption, betrayal, and retaliation within schools and unions.
