Baldwin weaves the myriad problems of an inner city school into a very engaging story. His characters are absolutely believable and well-written. The general public can gain a badly needed insight into the complexities of public education, and anyone considering a career in the business of teaching will appreciate the truths Baldwin makes brutally evident. --Dr. Robert Fulton, 28-year veteran educator
Review
The characters of Tony Avery and Kenny Houston come into your life and stay forever. "Learnt" truly depicts what a teacher's life is like, and I appreciated the accurate portrayal of a teenager's struggle with self-identity and life purpose. You will be drawn into this story and find yourself unable to put it down. Mr. Baldwin is a gifted writer, creating characters with real life issues with accuracy and finesse. --Joanne Robideau, H.S.
