To Teach to Love. This item is unavailable.To Teach to Love

Stuart's autobiographical account of much of his educational career. This great Kentucky novelist, short story writer, poet, and teacher writes about his boyhood, his elementary school and high school experiences, and his days at Lincoln Memorial University. He tells of teaching in a one room rural schoolhouse, his experiences as a county school superintendent, and his stay as a teacher at American University in Cairo, Egypt. He explains what classroom methods worked best, and why, and speculates on what has gone wrong with American schools.

To Teach, To Love was first published in 1970, at the end of a tumultuous decade in the history of American education. The Jesse Stuart Foundation has reissued this book because it continues to be timely. Jesse Stuart's experiences as a student, and as a teacher and administrator, still speak to us, for they are about the essence of education.
