Peaceful solutions

I am a principal in an urban school district and I found Blake's words to ring so true--urban girls are an especially "silenced" and misunderstood group. I think all urban teachers and administrators should read this book to learn how we can learn more about the students we teach. Blake shows us how we can, through writing in the classroom, actually help students to think of alternatives to violence. A timely and well-written book! Highly recommended!
