To Teach With Love is Jesse
Stuart’s biographical account of growing
up in Kentucky—his boyhood, elementary
and high school days, as well as his
foray into higher education at Lincoln
Memorial College and Vanderbilt
University. He also writes about
teaching in a one-room school house, his
experiences as a high school
superintendent, and ends with is work at
the American University in Cairo, Egypt,
where he taught creative writing.
Jesse Stuart’s philosophy of teaching is given on the front
flap of the book’s dust jacket: “This
much I know: Love, a spirit of adventure
and excitement, a sense of mission has
to get back into the classroom. Without
it our schools—and our country—will
die.” Stuart’s motivation for
teaching is expressed in a comment on
the end flap: “No joy runs deeper than
the feeling that I have helped a youth
stand on his own two feet, to have
courage and self-reliance, and to find
himself when he did not know who he was
or where he was going.” |
