Publisher Description An aspiration of self-fulfilment and defiance takes flight when Peter Reed, a newly qualified teacher with top honours from the renowned University of Stellenbosch, arrives in the rural town of Somerset East, South Africa. At the celebrated Gill College High School, Peter brings a vision inspired by the enduring wisdom of Confucius and Aristotle and the modern insights of Howard Gardner s theory of multiple intelligences. Determined to challenge the narrow labels assigned to his special class students, Peter teaches by an irrefutable principle: I hear, I forget. I see; I remember. I do; I understand. Through hands-on learning and a belief in every student s unique potential, he breathes new life into children labelled as mentally retarded . But in a school steeped in enduring tradition, Peter s radical innovative teaching methods spark fierce resistance from Dr Hawkins, a principal with secrets of his own. As Peter battles prejudice, narrow-mindedness, and a failing system, his students begin to defy every expectation, led by Frankie, an orphan Indian boy with a dream of building and flying his own glider. Years later, fate delivers a cruel irony: Peter, now broken by time and circumstance, is reduced to menial labour in a multi-million-rand business owned by his former students. As he toils in the shadows of their success, a familiar voice calls his name. Rochelle, a former student, now an accomplished medical doctor, echoes his own words back to him: A good teacher is like a candle it consumes itself to light the way for others.
