My partly-fictional stories embrace the words of Abraham Maslow, "we must understand love, we must be able to teach it, to create it, to predict it, or else the world is lost to hostility and to suspicion..." The stories/episodes take place between middle 1950's to early 2000's. Further readings are suggested for a deeper understanding of the overall educational system in the Caribbean. The theme is mainly on the impact of the interactions between teachers and students. The children in the Back Row could be seated in any part of the classroom; however, they are often generally relegated to the back row by the teacher so that they could be ignored - they may become 'invisible' for the non-progressive teacher. Many of those Back Row children are usually the ones with socio-psychological issues and there are others who are too challenging for the teacher who is incapable of readjusting eclectic methods to benefit all students. This is the story, based on the actual experience of the Voice.

Autorenporträt
I began teaching French at the age of 18 at a Private Secondary School. It was a part-time evening job. Before the age of 19, I began teaching at a Primary/Elementary Boys' School. I enjoyed both levels of students. I migrated to Boston, USA and then later on to Toronto, Canada where I attended York University - Glendon College, Education Faculty. There I developed my expertise of teaching for levels K to 13. Years later, in Trinidad, I received a Master of Education in Literacy from Mount Saint Vincent University of Nova Scotia, Canada. I returned to Trinidad and began teaching at the Secondary/High School Level. Additionally, I privately tutored students who were aged 10+ in preparation for their Secondary entrance examination. Eventually, I lectured part-time at the Education Faculty, University of the Southern Caribbean (also known as Caribbean Union College- CUC). Finally, I lectured at the Centre for Education, full time, at the University of Trinidad and Tobago, (UTT). Each class is a chapter of a story to be told, my own story included. My overall objective was always to make learning fun.
