He spent two years in the principal’s office, teaching Grade 10 Physical Science and getting to the bottom of extreme pressures bearing down on teachers and pupils, for whom it was impossible to leave the trauma of broken families and violent crime at the school gate.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-expanded=\"false\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-expanded=\"false\"\u003eWith his characteristic warmth and insight, Jansen takes readers inside chaotic classrooms as he works alongside teachers to reverse years of decline. He exposes the complex web of low expectations, dysfunctional organisational culture and bureaucratic interference that keeps underperforming schools trapped in failure while setting in motion practical shifts that spark real change. Part memoir, part case study and part call to action, this is essential reading for parents, educators, policy makers and anyone who cares about the future of South Africa’s children. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-expanded=\"false\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-expanded=\"false\"\u003eClear-eyed and hopeful,Worth the Fight is about what it takes to turn a working-class school ― and the South African education system ― around.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"1776196104\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"xt3vh7-wq1jcq-dosy2c-qn7jwp\" data-cel-widget=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"1776196104\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"30rnbb-9otx5b-vcik9f-4wjg8g\" data-cel-widget=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget c-f\" data-csa-op-log-render=\"\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"DsUnknown\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"DsUnknown-4\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-painter=\"tell-amazon-desktop-cards\" data-csa-c-id=\"cx755z-z9wjpf-7psv9x-66rtt7\" data-cel-widget=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"CardInstanceA2Kz4rl-Ia_GTOXpBhV7GA\" data-card-metrics-id=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_3\" data-acp-tracking=\"{}\" data-mix-claimed=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jonathan Jansen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47476401635506,"sku":"9781776196104","price":288.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9191\/8002\/files\/9781776196104.jpg?v=1782907077","url":"https:\/\/www.wordsworth.co.za\/products\/worth-the-fight","provider":"Wordsworth Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
