Reading, Writing, and Rage : The Terrible Price Paid by Victims of School Failure

This non-fictional account of Tony Petri, learning disabled but gifted teenager, is written in compelling docudrama form to help the reader understand:

*the controlled rage that is a hidden byproduct of school failure;
*the frustration of the help-seeking process;
*the powerlessness of everyone involved in that process–students, families, teachers, and helping professionals;
*the ultimate hope for reversal of both the failure and the rage.

By reconstructing Tony’s life and each affront to his sensitivies and self-worth, we see another kind of failure–not of the boy but of the school and professional systems–failure to listen to what was really happening for Tony, and failure to really communicate with each other.
