Some Kids I Taught and What They Taught Me by Kate Clanchy

1.0

Congratulations Kate Clanchy, this is a book so riddled with stereotypes and racial generalisations that I couldn’t even get past the first chapter. Every single student not from the author’s middle class white background is treated as other, mocked mercilessly and used as cannon fodder to prove some kind of point. Ironically, the Kindle edition has a glowing review by Pullman on the front - the other book I gave one star to this year, only at least I could finish that.
