| Abstract
|
:
|
Written for all those who are concerned about the plight of children in America, most especially future school teachers, Uncertain Lives tells the stories of 34 children, enrolled in a K-6 urban school. The tale told is one of children doing the best they know how under trying life circumstances. Presenting the voices of the children themselves. Robert Bullough puts a hopeful and ultimately human face on what are otherwise grim statistics.
