On (Not) Getting By in America
Paperback
Connect with a representative to create a custom curriculum for your district.
To start a national discussion about what life is like when you earn low wages in America, the author writes about her experiences working as a waitress in Florida, a maid in Maine, and a Wal-Mart "sales associate" in Minnesota.
Well-suited to classroom use, this reality-check of a book comprises three high-interest narratives, a 28-page evaluation of lessons learned, and 17 discussion questions.
