"I asked the experts--the kids who have to sit in classes all day long, 'What SHOULD and SHOULDN'T teachers do in the classroom?' I got so tired of hearing students complain of BORING classes, of rude teachers, and of stupid things done in the name of teaching. I knew I had to get them to write it all down: their thoughts, suggestions, experiences, and hurts. And their joys! I wanted it all. I also had them throw in a story that had impacted their lives that involved a teacher." ~ Becky
The classroom can be a scary place. Ask any teacher, both the new and the experienced. Ask about the nightmares they have in August before school starts. Ask about the stomach pains on the first day. Ask about reactions to seeing their class roster. Teaching is tough. But as everyone knows and quotes, it IS the most rewarding job on earth.
This book was born out of all the teacher frustration that Becky has seen in her 34 years of teaching. It does not matter what level you teach. Becky has had taught them all---from first grade to university. The principles you will learn expand through all ages and for all grades, and will alleviate much of the angst and perplexity felt by teachers universally.
You will find some things disturbing, some things enlightening, some things thought-provoking, but all entertaining and educational. Becky lets the students completely speak for themselves. And then she adds some bonus tips for the classroom that REALLY WORK to create an atmosphere in which students love to listen, laugh and learn.
