Don't blame the teachers-blame the system. How the Public School System Stole Petey Guzman's Life is a "must-read" for every student, parent, and educator.

Don't blame the teachers-blame the system. How the Public School System Stole Petey Guzman's Life is a "must-read" for every student, parent, and educator. It is the story of the declining, failing public school system that has lost sight of the truly important mission: connecting with today's students and educating them for success in their futures. As many grow increasingly alarmed by the emphasis on high-stakes testing and the political bureaucracy in education (while ignoring the importance of actual teaching and learning), this was a story begging to be told-and will have a profound impact on its readers. Told through the eyes of both Petey Guzman and his favorite teacher, their story is one you will remember long after you read the last page. By forcing us to grapple with the sad realities of public education, Petey's story evokes a visceral reaction in the reader, and propels us to take action. Finally, an insider's view of education today; get ready for an "eye-opening" experience! E.A. Hults Elko's mission to "change the world, one life at a time" begins with a story that begs us to take a closer look at what's really going on in today's school systems.

Autorenporträt
E.A. Hults Elko has taught high school English for over ten years in New Jersey's public school system. A dynamic instructor, she exudes passion and joy in her chosen profession which she deems a "calling on her life." Hults Elko cherishes her "cubs" and believes we have to "reach them before we can teach them." To that end, she insists on establishing the rapport and relationships necessary in today's climate to reach various children and meet their unique needs (although current state and federal mandates make that goal extremely challenging). Hults Elko attended The College of New Jersey for both her undergraduate and graduate studies, and holds a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership. She has served on several professional committees and presented enrichment workshops to educators in her school and state. In addition, she has served in many other capacities at her school, including coaching varsity gymnastics, chaperoning school events and trips, advising clubs, hosting various school spirit initiatives, and mentoring novice teachers. The recipient of both "Teacher of the Year" and "Coach of the Year" during her tenure, she is most proud hearing back from former students and witnessing the success they have achieved in their adult lives.
