What is a “tough and challenging” teacher? We think that a tough and challenging teacher is someone who has no relationship with his (or her) students, and who is teaching his students subjects which are not connected to students’ lives in any way. In fact, tough and challenging teachers are usually people who are not only incapable of relating to students, but are also incapable of relating to faculty or to anyone else.

Article Source

During the early 1900s, a group of American writers emerged who were known as the “muckrakers.” Their works included such books as Edwin Markham’s Children in Bondage, in which he attacked the atrocities of child labor in America; Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle, which exposed the poverty-stricken lives of stockyard workers and the unsanitary conditions in meat packing plants; and Ida Tarbell’s History of Standard Oil Company, in which she exposed the corrupt practices used to form an industrial monopoly. Most of these books represented honest appraisals of very negative conditions that existed at that time.
