Dear Friends,

I am writing a paper on female literacy students and violence, using Jenny Horsman's book, "Too Scared to Learn" as a data base.  I have a couple of questions that you may be able to help me with--I hope.

1) Jenny's book describes her experience with students in Canada.  I need to find  out how prevalent the problem of violence and women is in literacy clsses in the US.  In your experience, is this a problem for the women you teach--domestic violence either currently or as children?

2)  Do men you teach also have similar problems--number of men and degree of violence?  Or is there a difference?

3)  If you were writing such a  paper, what would you feel essential to include?  Facts, which ones? What are your own observations?

I would appreciate information on this topic, any insights you may have.  

I am sure I will have other questions for the list, too. 

Thanks.

Andrea
