The author is a teacher in inner London with thirty years' experience of teaching in the inner city and working with disruptive pupils. Here he speaks from the teachers point of view about underclass culture and the unremitting conflict it sets up, a situation equally applicable in the United States, and one rarely heard over calls for better teachers. He proposes his own radical solutions to some of the problems but argues the only long-term remedy lies in the eradication of poverty.
