520    Christina Asquith presents a moving first-hand account of 
       her year teaching in one of Philadelphia's worst schools. 
       Told with striking humor and honesty, her story begins 
       when the School District of Philadelphia, in desperate 
       need of 1,500 new teachers, instituted a policy of hiring 
       emergency certified instructors. Asquith, then a 25-year-
       old reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer, joined their 
       untrained ranks. More challenging than her classroom in 
       the crime-infested neighborhood known as the Badlands are 
       the trials she faced outside, including a corrupt 
       principal, the politics that prevented a million-dollar 
       grant from reaching her students, and the administration's
       shocking insistence that teachers maintain the appearance 
       of success in the face of utter defeat?even if it means 
       falsifying test scores. Her story will inspire, educate, 
       and entertain.
