Schoolteacher:

A Sociological Study
Front Cover
2 Reviews
University of Chicago Press, May 1, 2002 - Education - 284 pages
Upon its initial publication, many reviewers dubbed Dan C. Lortie's Schoolteacher the best social portrait of the profession since Willard Waller's classic The Sociology of Teaching. This new printing of Lortie's classic—including a new preface bringing the author's observations up to date—is an essential view into the world and culture of a vitally important profession.

Review: Schoolteacher: A Sociological Study, With a new Preface

User Review  - Dioscita - Goodreads

A classic that, sadly, could have been written last year (it is that close to today's reality in education). Read full review

Review: Schoolteacher: A Sociological Study, With a new Preface

User Review - Goodreads

This is a sociological study done in the 60's using hundreds of interviews with public school teachers. If you're not a teacher, you may find it very enlightening; if you are one, it'll just make you mad (considering how little has changed since then, and how marginalized we continue to be).
