An enjoyable read
A lot of the information is definitely outdated at this point, but so much of it still holds true that I would recommend anyone considering a profession in teaching read this to get an idea of just how difficult a job it can be. Well-written and easy to read, this book is an enjoyable and enlightening tale of one teacher’s experiences.

A great read, but just a sad truth of what goes on in an inner city school. It just seems like no matter how hard you try the kids either won't listen, are already too far behind, or bored because the work is too easy.

This story reminded me a lot of my time in a school serving with AmeriCorps. She captures the complexity of it all so well. A school where everyone is trying their best to manage with conditions that are unreal. Highly recommend to anyone who works in schools.
