The lucky ones never learn to obey!
Does our education system teach us how to think-- or what to think? Sir Cedric QH has just returned from teaching English in South Korea and ambivalently decides to work as a Teaching Fellow in New York City's distinguished Upper East Side. His eye opening experiences force him to resolve old, unsettled issues, particularly his stances on morality and race in America.
This true story is an existential tale that delves into one African American man's battle with the American education system-- one that pushes and pulls him between two opposing poles: Will he settle as one of the "worker bees," or live life on his own terms?
Come along on a journey as Sir Cedric reflects on his turbulent encounters with the American education system--from his days as a student--to his short career as a public school teacher in New York City. Cedric holds back no punches in his unnerving--yet, sincere--analysis of public education in the United States, how this school system instructs students of color in the doctrine of servility, and its global implications for Democracy.
