So, naturally, I wrote them again:I’M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE…My name, not that it matters, is Thomas Berg. And I’m really not supposed to be here.So begins ROOM ONE: A Story of Public Education. In this newnovel, master storyteller Michael Kanaly turns his unflinching eyeon the troubled, yet often amusing world of public education. ROOMONE is the story of Thomas Berg, certified Room Oner, trapped in the chaos of disruptive classrooms, struggling to extract himself froma dismal cycle of poor grades and failure. All while fighting a deteriorating educational system that seems to exclude him at everyturn. Observant, often wickedly funny, Berg senses that somethingis wrong—with himself, with the system itself—a defect that needs to be exposed and examined, in order to be corrected. In this all-too-real examination of public education, Michael Kanaly looks at the complex questions facing students and educators today. An innovative and provocative book, ROOM ONE takes the readerinside the classroom, into the very heart of public education. Edition: 2009Publisher: Pilot Hill Press
