According to Ilana Garon, popular books and movies are inundated with the myth of the hero teacherthe one who charges headfirst into dysfunctional inner city schools like a firefighter into an inferno, bringing the student victims to safety through a combination of charisma and innate righteousness. The students are then saved by the teachers idealism, empathy, and willingness to put faith in kids who have been given up on by society as a whole.Why Do Only White People Get Abducted by Aliens? is not that type of book.

In this book, Garon reveals the sometimes humorous, oftentimes frustrating, and occasionally horrifying truths that accompany the experience of teaching at a public high school in the Bronx today. The overcrowded classrooms, lack of textbooks, and abundance of mice, cockroaches, and drugs werent the only challenges Garon faced during her first four years as a teacher. Every day, shed interact with students such as Kayron, Carlos, Felicia, Jonah, Elizabeth, and Tonyastudents dealing with real-life addictions, miscarriages, stints in juvie, abusive relationships, turf wars, and gang violence. These students also brought with them big dreams and uncommon insightand challenged everything Garon thought she knew about education.

In response, Garona naive, suburban girl with a curly ponytail, freckles, and Harry Potter glassesopened her eyes, rolled up her sleeves, and learned to distinguish between mitigated failure and qualified success. In this book, Garon explains how she learned that being a new teacher was about trial by fire, making mistakes, learning from the very students she was teaching, and occasionally admitting that she may not have answers to their thought-provoking (and amusing) questions.
