 Rating:  - Title should be "Teaching Inside the Box"Like the author I entered teaching later in life. I brought some of my insights in managing people and motivating people with me. It helped to an extent because in teacher training courses you get none of it. The great thing about this book is the author actually gives examples and suggestions of what to do in real every day teaching situations. I teach outside the US and her ideas work fine.

Our public schools are doing everything they can to do just that! Family: We - are - family, Trotsky, Lenin, Pol Pot and me! From the tender age of 5 straight on to 18, liberal teachers have a death-grip on your children's psyche from 8:00 until 3:00! The Dems are already discussing legislation ...

I am trying to be one of those teachers who do more than just "stand up in the front of the classroom and lecture all day". Great read!
