Former Delinquent Shores Into Duke English Mentor
A 30 year old Duke University associate professor, once a chronic school truant, now tackles dropouts by using comic books to hook students. He argues teachers should relate classic literature to youths lives, citing Moby Dick and Job to show universal struggles. He notes a cultural gap between teachers and potential dropouts and questions who should teach them.
