When Locke High School opened its doors in 1967, the residents
of Watts celebrated it as a sign of the changes promised by Los
Angeles. But four decades later, first-year Teach for America
recruits Rachelle, Phillip, Hrag, and Taylor are greeted by a
school that looks more like a prison, with bars, padlocks, and
chains all over.
With little training and experience, these four will be asked to
produce academic gains in students who are among the most
disadvantaged in the country. Relentless Pursuit lays bare the
experiences of these four teachers to evaluate the strengths and
peculiarities of Teach for America and a social reality that has
become inescapable.
