He contracted rheumatic fever at the age of five and spent most of his childhood in hospitals, including three years in a sanatorium. In the 1950's, the prescribed treatment for this often fatal disease was complete bed rest. There was no excitement, no education, and no counseling. Visitors were limited to once a month for two hours. When he was discharged at the age of nine, he could neither read nor write and had not developed social skills. In an engaging way, Lawrence traces his growth as he learned to walk again, read, break through his shyness, and begins his cultural and academic education. He shares his feelings about participating in special education classes, family relationships, confronting bullies, his love of baseball, his Brooklyn neighborhood, and his emerging sexual fantasies. \u003cbr\u003e Written with warmth and humor, Lawrence takes us on a journey through his pain, struggle, courage, and yearning while confined to bed and his remarkable strength and drive to overcome his handicaps. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author deftly captures how the outside world drifted in through radio, comics and early television, adding cultural texture and reminding the reader of what hospitalized children missed during that era....Green deftly describes St. Vincent's and his lifetime of struggle, incorporating the confusion, ridicule and surprise he experienced as a boy into his scenes. He illuminates a period of American history when ill children were sent away without fanfare or explanation... A memoir that renders an invisible population visible... --Kirkus Reviews \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lawrence Green retired after 42 years of practice as a psychiatric social worker.

His articles on parent-teacher cooperation in the magazine ‘Where?’ aroused very wide interest and led to reviews in the national press and appearances on the BBC and ITV. Requests for details of his two-way reports – in which parents were invited to give the school a picture of the child at home – were received from all over the world.  This is a practical and deeply-felt book, a living illustration of the kind of cooperation which could make the Plowden Report a reality. It deals frankly with the difficulties of starting and maintaining links between home and school, but describes the kind of success which could be achieved. The intention was that it should be read by all who cared about education and wanted to cross the line which too often separated parent and teacher at the time. Today it can be read in its historical context.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51599283061009,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51599283126545,"sku":"NGR9781041075660","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1041075669.jpg?v=1750791370"},{"product_id":"student-shakespeare-much-ado-about-nothing-book-lawrence-green-9780748786039","title":"Student Shakespeare - Much Ado About Nothing","description":"This title provides just the right balance for the study of language, imagery and theatricality, and of character and context, enabling students to gain a clear understanding of the text.
