Resign Or Be Resigned

Resign or Be Resigned is a riveting memoir of one recruited teacher's struggle to stand up against: cultural biases, being bullied by students, parents and administrators. It documents her fight to withstand sexual advances- to overcome personal conflicts and maintain her integrity as she attempted to teach and comply with State regulations and meet objectives, achieve the school's goals, fulfill her personal aspirations and moral obligations. Most significantly, it highlights how she kept her sense of self, her purpose and her commitment to excellence. It cuts to the core of the malignant social and bureaucratic cells in schools, exposes the affected areas which have resulted in the stagnation of the growth of the nation. The account uncovers them and shows that if they are not dealt with urgently and aggressively, then the demise of the next generation will be certain. It identifies and provides practical solutions for problems that adversely affect the teaching-learning process and impede progress. Unquestionably, education is everyone's concern. We are obligated to ensure that the next generation is equipped to survive the challenges in this world.
