Studs Terkel Working- Alternative School Teacher

"Certainly a fifteen-year-old kid is not going to see an eight- year- old as his equal."
I agree with that quote because a fifteen-year-0ld and an eight-year-old will have different personalities along with different interests. Pat Zimmerman who wrote this selection in the book,m taught in an alternative school in Chicago. An alternative school is a school with children of all different ages, genders and race in the same classroom. She said that she is a strict teacher and in my opinion you have to be in that type of environment. The problem is you cannot treat younger kids the same way you can treat older kids.
