This book gives a really good perspective on teaching in general, specifically teaching in a democratic society. Whether or not you agree with Ayers' points, it's a great book for any teacher to read, whether you have one year of experience or twenty years of experience. I really enjoyed it, and I plan to read more of Ayers' books.

Read for my Master's in teaching and curriculum. Inspiring, thought provoking, and reaffirming.

This book was pretty darn refreshing, and as a future teacher I appreciated the words of Mr. Ayers, and the passion displayed in the pages of this book. There are definitely things I read that I will take into the classroom with me. The only reason this did not get five stars is because I felt that there should have been more of a balance between the idealized world of teaching, and the realistic world of the classroom that awaits us all.

I had to read this book and Ayers' book on lesson planning for class. Just remember, Ayers was an admitted home-grown terrorist before he decided that the best, most effective, way to reshape the country was to do it through education.
