Summary: Honoring Teachers
Comment: This book truly touched me! I am a veteran teacher who is currently struggling with budget cuts, layoffs, and low morale as we face yet another year without a contract in my school. I happened upon this book, and am truly happy to say that my disheartened spirit found a ray of hope. Intrator's collection of stories from teachers across the country, like myself, have reminded me of many of the reasons that drew me to this profession. I feel inspired, and proud to be a teacher.
PS: For those of you who have wondered what a teacher's life is like, read this collection of stories and get a glimpse of our special world.

Summary: Honors the truth and complexity of our work
Comment: I need this book every day to help me understand and meet the complex demands of my work as a high school English teacher. Sam possesses a keen insight into and commitment to the challenges we face in the contemporary classroom. What distinguishes Sam's book from others is its concern for the teacher's entire life. Our teaching comes from our heart at its best and our teaching is the story of who we are. This book tells that story, through OUR stories, in a way that makes it new and makes me proud to be a teacher. The book never whines but always entertains even as it confronts the hard truths that make up our days in the classroom. When you finish this book---which you never will, for you will reread certain stories again and again---you will understand why your work matters and will sense, even at those difficult moments, the dignity inherent in the work you do. Thank you for the book, Mr. Intrator.

Summary: Finally, a Book that lifts up teachers!
Comment: FINALLY! Here is a book about what it really means to be a teacher with joy, hope, determination and courage in tough times. This book explains why people become teachers, and how the simple things they do make a world of difference in children's lives -- not just academically, but emotionally and soulfully. We need more books like this, telling not only what "needs to be done" to educate children and young adults, but how many people are already doing those things. Intrator's book is a refreshing addition to literature on teaching, a wonderful gift to anyone who loves kids, loves to learn, and loves simply to live as fully as possible.
