Garfield High School, 1995, Life And Times

It's 1995 and Garfield High School is the fifth largest high school in the nation. Garfield is 99% Latino and the home of the movie "Stand and Deliver." This book captures one day at work as Dick Selby, the school psychologist, deals with a potential suicide, physical abuse, teenage pregnancy, and a group of girls who call themselves "Midnight Pleasure." And because of them there's almost a gang fight. These stories demonstrate the positive impact that a school psychologist can have in an inner-city high school, as well as the difficulties of adolescence and growing up. Twice Dick has been recognized as a "School Psychologist of the Year," and in June of 2000, KCOP, Channel13, honored him as their "Hero of the Week." "Dick Selby saves students' lives," the commentator stated. 9781492222279 1492222275 132 Psychology NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=o29MnwEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
