FROM THE PUBLISHER
Like any science, public education has a history, and in the case of
Oklahoma, the art of education has a very colorful and diversified
history. The author, Opal Hartsell Brown, very ably records her
experiences and concepts. She captures not only the struggle to
become a teacher, but the life of the teacher following the diploma
– dealing with school district politics, administration, the
classroom, and the complexities of the students, both young and old.
She does it as can only one who has been there for over 35 years.
Classroom Challengers – 5s to 50s, traces public education in
Oklahoma as it emerges from the concept of a one–room school house
within walking distance of every family farm, to the public school
system of the 1990s with the new reforms that promise to propel the
system into the 21st Century.
