Book Synopsis
Angel, a Black tenth-grader at a New York City public school, self-identifies as a nerd and likes to learn. But she's troubled that her history classes leave out events like the genocide and dispossession of Indigenous people in the Americas, presenting a sugar-coated image of the United States that is at odds with her everyday experience. The history I learned in school is simpler, she says. The world I live in is a lot more complex.Angel, like every student interviewed in Discipline Problems, has been identified by teachers as a troublemaker, a student whose behavior disrupts classroom norms and interferes with instruction. But her critiques of the curriculum she's taught speak to her curiosity and insight, crucial foundations for understanding history. Like many students who have been marginalized by systemic racism in American schools, she exposes the shortcomings of her classrooms' academic environments by challenging both the content and the methods of her education.
