Miseducated deserves to be turned into a movie. Brandon P. Fleming recounts his journey through hardship, including physical and sexual abuse, gang involvement, poverty, drug dealing, a failed basketball career, educators that consistently underestimate him, a suicide attempt, ultimately becoming a teacher, mentor, and the director and founder of the Harvard Debate Council Diversity Program. This program offers Black youth in Atlanta a chance to learn and contend in Harvard’s summer debate program.
The writing is great, and I had a hard time putting it down. I paused on three other books that I was currently reading so I could focus only on this one. This is one of the best memoirs that I have read all year. Teachers are heroes. This book was very fascinating and inspiring. Loved it. It gets all the stars!
