The two main characters are sent to a 'school' where they eat gruel and do laundry and sewing (in the age of washboards and mangles), and tattletales are rewarded with chunks of cheese. The only time they have 'school' is when the crooked superintendent drops by, and everyone lines up and yells the alphabet. It ends well, though. =) <br /><br />Another I can think of is in "Words by Heart," a heartbreaker of a book but a very good read--it was even made into a PBS movie, which co-starred the actress who played Mrs. Garrett on 'Facts of Life.' The protagonist's (a young African-American girl) mother is a teacher, and when the kids go to school, the littlest brother asks his teacher for a new book because the one she gave him is worn out and dirty. The teacher and the boy battle it out until the mom comes in and glues a piece of paper over the inside cover, hiding the notations on the condition of the book based on the race of the student it was issued to.<br /><br />And who could forget Eliza Jane Wilder losing control of her class in DeSmet, South Dakota, and sending Laura and Carrie Ingalls (her future in-laws!) home for bad behavior?<br /><br />I love reading your blog because it brings back all of those wonderful memories of things I've read and only thought I've forgotten. =)Melissa (& Billy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10183754075992969795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046320545497573335.post-36723381588877842009-09-04T13:48:17.542-04:002009-09-04T13:48:17.542-04:00I loved the writing in Sounder, but found the book...I loved the writing in Sounder, but found the book so sad. It's an Oprah book for kids. <br /><br />I doubt I would have ever read Sour Land, so I'm happy to know about "the boy" and William H. Armstrong - thank you!
