Synopsis: First published in 1949, Jesse Stuart￢ﾀﾙs now classic personal account of his twenty years of teaching in the mountain region of Kentucky has enchanted and inspired generations of students and teachers.With eloquence and wit, Stuart traces his twenty-year career in education, which began, when he was only seventeen years old, with teaching grades one through eight in a one-room schoolhouse. Before long Stuart was on a path that made him principal and finally superintendent of city and county schools. The road was not smooth, however, and Stuart faced many challenges, from students who were considerably older￢ﾀﾔand bigger￢ﾀﾔthan he to well-meaning but distrustful parents, uncooperative administrators and, most daunting, his own fear of failure. Through it all, Stuart never lost his abiding faith in the power of education. A graceful ode to what he considered the greatest profession there is, Jesse Stuart￢ﾀﾙs The Thread That Runs So True is timeless proof that ￢ﾀﾜgood teaching is forever and the teacher is immortal.￢ﾀﾝ
