When parents send their children to school, they are trusting teachers and administrators with their most precious treasure. Sad to say, that trust is betrayed all too often. What can we say when well-known, elite and very expensive private schools promise an education that sharpens the mind, strengthens the body, and uplifts the soul--only to afflict some students with regret, pain, and shame that can last a lifetime or even drive a student to suicide? Stephen Fife has written a compelling, soul-baring narrative of his experience of education and abuse at the prestigious Horace Mann School in New York City. He also provides practical advice to parents who wish to protect their children and to recognize the signs of disturbance when abuse may be taking place. The sad truth is that every secondary school in the country, at least to some degree, presents a risk of teacher-student abuse. We need to have the courage to encourage our children to leave the family nest. Yet we also need to exercise due diligence, to recognize the warning signs when our children are in trouble, and to understand situations that are structured in such a way that a tragic outcome is all too likely. Stephen Fife's story stimulates thought and pulls at the heart. And yet it also provides practical wisdom that will be of immeasurable help to concerned parents.
