Overview

I wrote Thanking Teachers Working in High-Poverty Schools to show my appreciation to teachers who teach in high-poverty schools for the wonderful work they do. They change lives and provide a positive influence daily for students living in poverty. Teachers are often the primary caregivers for their students after parents, grandparents, or guardians. To the teachers, I want you to know that you deserve several things. You deserve a place at the table for decisions in education, official recognition as first responders, kudos for your unbelievable pedagogical tact, and for the first time in educational research, you deserve professional recognition for your commitment to your students. For the first time in educational research, our study shows that the longer you are a teacher, the deeper your commitment becomes. A new teacher will typically be a caregiver, then with time, a negotiator, then an advocate, and then a crusader. Those who have been teaching for the longest time are typically the crusaders. This discovery is totally new for educational research and just for fun you can look up your status on pages 124 through 128. If you are a teacher in a school of impoverished children, this story is a ""Thank You!"" note to you.

Author Information

I grew up in rural West Tennessee. I attended a private boarding school beginning at the age of 15 years. I graduated and went to Southwestern at Memphis (now Rhodes College) as a pre-med student beginning in 1962. John F. Kennedy was The President of The United States at that time. On November 22, 1963 he was assassinated. The remainder of 1963 and 1964 was a time of reflection and reevaluating priorities for me. In January, 1964, I dropped out of college and joined a rock and roll band called Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs. I had played sax since the age of 13 and was in a rock and roll band all through prep school and college. This link to the ""Trail of Music Legends Hall of Fame"" tells my story.
