Debra Craig is writer whose articles have been published nationwide. She is also the author of two books, the most recent one called, "Welcome to My Nightmare, I mean, Classroom: A Teacher in the Trenches Shatters the Myths, Lies, and Half-truths about Public Education." (A.T. Publishing, NY, 9/07)
The book shares with readers her reality of working at an underperforming high school and how the problems in education aren't what they appear to be. She knows because she has been a public school teacher in Moreno Valley, CA, for over a decade.
Debra is now on a mission not just to write about the problems with our public schools, but wants to be an instrument of change in improving them.She's tired of the government's lip service that they care about kids' education when in reality nothing is farther from the truth. This former kindergarten and fifth grade teacher plans on doing whatever it will take to effect change in a system that is so very broken.
