We heard a lot about Bill Ayers during the 2008 election cycle;
mostly attempts at using his name as a smear because of his past with
the Weather Underground. But for the past forty years Ayers has been
a teacher, an occupation he calls the most intellectually challenging
thing he's ever done. His book To Teach: The Journey of a Teacher has
seen multiple editions, and when the publisher asked him about doing
a new one, he wanted to do it a little differently. Ayers teamed up
with comics artist Ryan Alexander-Tanner and created a graphic novel
version of the book, To Teach: The Journey, In Comics, hoping to
reach new and different audiences.
Ayers was in town recently for the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art
festival, and he sat down with us at the Bank Street School of
Education to discuss his own journey as a teacher, the new graphic
novel, and what really needs to be done to reform education in the U.S.
