{"product_id":"teaching-with-fire","title":"Teaching with Fire","description":"\u003ci\u003e\"Teaching with Fire\u003c\/i\u003e is a glorious collection of the poetry that has restored the faith of teachers in the highest, most transcendent values of their work with children . . . Those who want us to believe that teaching is a technocratic and robotic skill devoid of art or joy or beauty need to read this powerful collection. So, for that matter, do we all.\" \u003cbr\u003e — Johnathan Kozol, author of \u003ci\u003eAmazing Grace\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSavage Inequalities\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\"When reasoned argument fails, poetry helps us make sense of life. A few well-chosen images, the spinning together of words creates a way of seeing where we came from and lights up possibilities for where we might be going . . . . Dip in, read, and ponder; share with others. It's inspiration in the very best sense.\"\u003cbr\u003e — Deborah Meier, co-principal of The Mission Hill School, Boston and founder of a network of schools in East Harlem, New York\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"It is said in the Confucian tradition that the mark of any golden era is that children are the most important members of a society and teaching the most revered profession. Today, fear, anxiety, overwork, and under-appreciation characterize a great many professions, but few more so than teaching. Realism tells us that the journey to regain our sanity regarding children and teaching will be a long one. Passion tells us that the path to the future is the one we tread here, now. The editors of \u003ci\u003eTeaching with Fire\u003c\/i\u003e say it is to sustain teachers. I say it is to sustain us all— for who are we at our best save teachers, and who matters more to us than the children?\"\u003cbr\u003e — Peter Senge, author, The Fifth Discipline\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Megan Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42848842317885,"sku":"9780787969707","price":47.66,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780787969707_f31e0f41-7b67-469c-a27e-d5349e9a31d1.jpg?v=1766989342","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/teaching-with-fire","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
