Lors de son premier jour d'école en tant qu'enseignant suppléant, Cinque Henderson a été maudit et ouvertement menacé par l'un de ses élèves. Ne voulant pas de problèmes ou d'os cassés, Henderson a appelé le moniteur de couloir, qui a escorté l'élève au bureau. Mais cinq minutes plus tard, le bureau l'a renvoyé avec une note qui disait, Ok de retourner en classe. C'était ça : pas de suspension, pas de détention, pas d'appel téléphonique à la maison, rien.
Asseyez-vous et fermez-vous : Comment la discipline peut libérer les étudiants est une analyse passionnée et personnelle de l'année de Henderson en tant qu'enseignant suppléant dans certaines des écoles les plus difficiles d'Amérique. Les élèves manquaient de respect, criaient dessus et menacaient les enseignants, encouragés par un système scolaire et une culture politique qui ont volontairement fermé les yeux sur le déclin économique et social qui a créé le problème.
Henderson conclut que les échecs de nos pires écoles sont le résultat d'une population en crise : les salles de classe sont des microcosmes de tous les problèmes de race et de classe les plus épineux de notre pays. L'héritage et la tache de la race – le prix du traumatisme générationnel, le coût de l'absence de père, les échecs du capitalisme, la fausse promesse de la méritocratie – se sont joués dans chaque interaction qu'Henderson avait avec un étudiant agressif, un parent non engagé ou un administrateur raté.
En réponse au chaos qu'il a trouvé dans la salle de classe, Henderson propose un renouvellement à l'idée que la discipline – bien comprise, patiemment et justement administrée – est la seule voie appropriée vers la liberté et l'opportunité pour des générations de jeunes pauvres. Avec des applications bien au-delà de la salle de classe, les expériences de Henderson offrent de nouvelles informations sur les problèmes raciaux, sociaux et économiques urgents qui ont façonné le paysage culturel américain.
Sûr de susciter la discussion et la controverse, Sit Down and Shut Up fournit une évaluation franche des salles de classe cassées de l'Amérique et offre une stratégie audacieuse pour les réparer.

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. On his very first day of school as a substitute teacher, Cinque Henderson was cursed at and openly threatened by one of his students. Not wanting trouble or any broken bones, Henderson called the hall monitor, who escorted the student to the office. But five minutes later the office sent him back with a note that read, "Ok to return to class." That was it: no suspension, no detention, no phone call home, nothing. Sit Down and Shut Up: How Discipline Can Set Students Free is a passionate and personal analysis of Henderson's year as substitute teacher in some of America's toughest schools. Students disrespected, yelled at, and threatened teachers, abetted by a school system and political culture that turned a willfully blind eye to the economic and social decline that created the problem. Henderson concludes that the failures of our worst schools are the result of a population in crisis: classrooms are microcosms of all our nation's most vexing issues of race and class. The legacy and stain of race--the price of generational trauma, the cost of fatherlessness, the failures of capitalism, the false promise of meritocracy--played itself out in every single interaction Henderson had with an aggressive student, an unengaged parent, or a failed administrator. In response to the chaos he found in the classroom, Henderson proposes a recommitment to the notion that discipline--wisely and properly understood, patiently and justly administered--is the only proper route to freedom and opportunity for generations of poor youth. With applications far beyond the classroom, Henderson's experiences offer novel insights into the pressing racial, social, and economic issues that have shaped America's cultural landscape. Sure to ignite discussion and controversy, Sit Down and Shut Up provides a frank evaluation of the broken classrooms of America and offers a bold strategy for fixing them.
