In the book Some kids I taught and what they taught me, Kate Clanchy describes 30 years of experience from the teaching profession in the municipal, British school.
Last year, the book was awarded the Orwell Prize, which awards political literature.
Now it will be rewritten.
In recent days, criticism has been formulated on social media against how the author describes his former students.
In one passage, Clanchy writes about a boy in the class "so small and square and Afghan with his big nose and premature mustache".
She also writes about two children on the autism spectrum who she teaches that "more than an hour a week with them" would irritate her.
Kate Clanchy initially dismissed the criticism, tweeting that she had been deliberately misinterpreted, writes The Guardian.
The tweet was later deleted as criticism increased.
It has come in part from other British writers such as Chimene Suleyman, Monisha Rajesh and Sunny Singh.
At the same time, writers like Phillip Pullman and Amanda Craig have come out in Kate Clanchy's defense.
On Friday, Clanchy published a press release in which the author described that recent criticism has made her humble, and that the book will now be rewritten and the criticized passages replaced.
