Kingdom Of The Sprayhound Kids

Can someone lose innocence if one's early life is mostly bereft of it? Kingdom of the Sprayhound Kids takes readers on a blazing thrill ride that is both funny and disturbing. The book examines the generational gap between an old man from the Woodstock era and today's youth. It's the real story of what goes on in public education today-a tale that teachers, educators, and students will never tell you. The story centers around Mr. George, a campus security monitor at Todos Los Santos-a middle school where bad behavior knows no limit and learning is an alien concept. He goes on a journey through the violence, anger, and rollicking adventures that consume the lives of young people. Mr. George delivers a powerful address on the state of education in America. His struggles become yours as he searches for ways to work within a system that is destined for failure. He grapples with his own place in the world as he tries to keep hundreds of youngsters from falling into the abyss of hate and ignorance. Mr. George uses his sense of humor to give these kids a sense of decency and de-escalate the daily war that consumes them. He tracks the comings and goings of students who refuse to be tamed by an adult world they see no reason to respect.
