Helpful Score: 2

I found it a bit too glib, certainly if you are going to read it in one sitting. Too many forced "Awww" moments that may want to make a classroom teacher puke(I've been teaching 1 year, am I already cynical?). I would note that the author lives in Mountain View, California, apparently been teaching at the same school for 20 years, unless he commutes more than 20 miles he is teaching in a very wealthy district (near Stanford), so I don't have much sympathy for him. Chapters are very short, 2 to 4 pages, they are a series of anecdotes.
