FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This collection consists of theoretical discussions, personal reflections, research reports, and policy suggestions sourced in the experiences of our most vulnerable students with an eye to making schools places all students might love rather than hate. The essays take up these issues from the perspectives of poverty, gender, race, ethnicity, ability, language, and religion among others. These essays also provide practical advice for teachers and administrators—both practicing and pre-service—for making classrooms and schools spaces that would encourage our students to say, "I love school."

The diverse teacher, researcher, and student voices that erupt from these chapters tell a multitude of stories in a cacophony of styles—in turn humorous, cajoling, indignant, intimate, academic, and more. Individually and collectively, they allow readers to experience schooling—its joys and sorrows, triumphs and tragedies—through the eyes of the students the institution was least designed to serve." — Isabel Nuñez, Professor and Chair Department of Educational Studies, Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne Review Quote " Why Kids Love (and Hate) School underscores how essential relevancy and relationships are to learning. This book gives voice to our students and how we can help create meaningful learning environments with them."
