My Project
"Socs and Greasers", "Do it for Johnny", and "Stay Gold" are terms that when heard, transport us adults back to our teen years -- a very challenging time for all of us. We are requesting a class set of "The Outsiders."
Nearly 60 years after its first publication, "The Outsiders" remains a modern-day classic, and with good reason.
Author SE Hinton said her motivation for writing it was to create a story that truly reflected the struggles teens face. Decades later, styles and technology have changed, but these struggles remain relatively constant. My classes would benefit from student copies that would afford them this unforgettable literary experience that holds a mirror to their lives.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
