Climbing the Rock Wall

Surviving a Career in Public Education

By: Barbara Katz-Brown

This is a collection of essays written during the course of a career in public education spanning over forty years. The essays reflect the authors optimism and frustrations with the business of schools and the impractical way schools hire, fire, and retain teachers and administrators. The author suggests new ways to examine practices and procedures in the public schools in the United States, from core curricula to discipline, even suggesting a utopian school district. Filled with anecdotes and thought-provoking questions, the author describes the life of a public school employee in a variety of positions within a centrally isolated Upstate New York public school system. A must-read for anyone considering a profession within the public schools, for new school board members, or for parents who want to know the dirty little secrets that exist in a public school system typical of any public school system in the United States. Barbara D. Katz-Brown, MS, CCC-SP, SDA

The Story of Vilma

By: Barbara D. Katz-Brown

This is a story of a young woman who, with her husband and her baby, made a brave decision in 1923 to travel from her country of origin, Hungary/Romania. She left her extended family behind to start a new life in America. Part of the story is based on a fictionalized account of Vilma Weisz’s early life, and part is based on authentic research by the author and her team of relatives. Vilma’s decision was a critical choice in her life and the lives of her future children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
