About the Book >
with an all-new Introduction and Afterword by the author,
and Foreword by Tom Wayman.
Tomorrow Is School is Don Sawyer's moving, amazing tale of his introduction to the profession of teaching... in a place and a time like no other.
The isolated Newfoundland outport where Don and Jan Sawyer land their first teaching jobs is a village strapped by poverty and rocked by social change. The local high school is, in a word, terrible. Hoberly Cove is a place and a people Don Sawyer knows nothing about... but he soon learns. And in the process he learns a lot about teaching.
In this true story, Don Sawyer shares his experience of learning how to bring out the best in his students. Along with their satisfying successes, there are heartbreaking failures. This is a superbly written, moving story, full of warmth and respect, which most educators and would-be teachers will find completely absorbing. It will encourage you, and at times astound you. It will make you laugh, and cry, and it will make you think about your chosen profession.
