The Rose That Grew from Concrete: Teaching and Learning With Disenfranchised Youth
Quality of education is a topic as important to Canadians as national health care, but what happens when students start to fall between the cracks in the system? As part of her research for this book, Diane Wishart interviewed many at-risk students in an urban high school, including a number of aboriginal students. What Wishart discovered weren’t statistics, but teens and their experiences, needs, and personalities. The qualitative analysis that comes from these interviews doesn’t supply a blueprint to fix the educational system. However, it does give a fresh, objective viewpoint for policy makers, scholars, teachers, and the general public to consider. » Read more: The Rose That Grew from Concrete: Teaching and Learning With Disenfranchised Youth
This is Our Youth
An unblinking portrait of young urban life in the 1980s, Kenneth Lonergan’s look at “the real Real World”(The New York Times)
This is Our Youth, Kenneth Lonnergan’s lacerating look at affluent young Manhattanites of the 1980s, was first produced by the New Group in New York in 1996 to great critical acclaim and a Drama Desk Award nomination for best new play. Set in 1982, the play depicts two days in the lives of three college-age Upper West Siders who are from wealthy families but are living in doped-up squalor. Dennis–with a famous painter for a father and social activist mother–is a small-time drug dealer and total mess. His hero-worshipping, indifferently adjusted friend Warren has just impulsively stolen ,000 from his father, an abusive lingerie tycoon who is “not a criminal, just in business with criminals.” When Jessica, a mixed-up prep-school girl, shows up for a date, Warren pulls out a wad of bills and takes her off, awkwardly, for a night of New York seduction. How will Warren turn out–will he follow Dennis into dissipation or discover a way out? A wildly funny, bittersweet, and ultimately quite moving story, This Is Our Youth is remarkable in its understanding of contemporary urban youth.
