The Lesson

This story is about a group of children from a lower class neighborhood, who get a new teacher who is educated. This teacher who it is unclear of were she is from tries to teach the children a lesson by taking them to Fifth Ave, to an expensive clothing store. I thought it was very smart the way the teacher taught the lesson. She took them places and taught them through experience rather than just having them sit in a classroom listening to her and taking notes. I think the way the teacher got through to these kids was amazing. They each walked away with a lesson. I loved the way it was narrated by one of the kids so you really got to see what they were thinking. The determination that the narrator had without even realizing it was exactly what the teacher hoped the children would walk away with. Without verbally telling them, she gave them stamina and motivation to be good in school and go places and rise above.
