"In "To Teach, To Love," the great Kentucky novelist, short-story writer, poet, and teacher writes about his boyhood, his elementary school and high-school experiences, his days at Lincoln Memorial College and Vanderbilt University. He describes the teachers who inspired him, and those who did not, and tells what made the difference. With great warmth and the wisdom that comes from nearly fifty years in the classroom, Jesse Stuart tells of teaching in one-room rural schoolhouses ... He recounts his experiences as a country school superintendent and as a high-school principal and describes his stay at the American University in Cairo, Egypt, where he taught creative writing. He explains what classroom methods worked best, and why, and speculates on what has gone wrong in American schools today"--From jacket flap.
