Summary: I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book!
Comment: I am a student majoring in Education at Macon State College. Several students (including myself) chose to read Marva Collins' Way and present our information to the class. We thought it best to actually do a skit from the first chapter to show our fellow students just how Marva's methods of teaching got through to her students. Needless to say, we received rave reviews from our fellow students! In a nut shell, Marva's methods on teaching stem from SELF-ESTEEM. Marva builds on that and the skies the limit! Marva's teaching methods reflect so much of Emerson's Self-Reliance - it's all about the student's perception of the teacher and how that teacher views the student. If you have a chance, go online and read Self-Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson and compare it to Marva's methods. This will give you a better idea just how Marva can take negativities in students and change them into positive aspirations. Marva Collins' Way was very easy to read and had a fantastic preface. I was "sold" on the book as much as Marva's students were "sold" on learning. I thought the book put a bit too much emphasis on this being a way to teach African American children and not enough emphasis on "Returning to Excellence in Education" which is something I fell breaks through all racial barriers, yet keeps diversity intact. I would suggest this book to anyone, not just teachers, who would like to reinforce positive attitudes in children both in and out of school. With all the reference material provided at the back of the book, it is a must have!!! With positive self-esteem, anything is possible! After all, "Man is his own star" - Emerson.

Summary: Marva inspires hope and belief in one's self.
Comment: I am a college student majoring in education. The book Marva Collin's Way was the book I chose to read from my class list. I am so glad that I chose this particular book. I will use this book as a daily guide for my life experiences. Marva Collins is a phenomenal woman. She has inspired me to be a better parent and teacher. I want to be able to teach and influence children and adults on a daily basis. We all have the power to educate; therefore I must obtain as much wisdom and knowledge as possible. Marva Collins has given me a method that's unlike any I have ever seen. I enjoyed the book tremendously and I recommend everyone to purchase the book and refer to it as often as possible. This book is not only about children, it also encourages you to get more out of life not only for yourself, but for those you come in contact with. I am encouraged to live my life the way Marva Collins has implied along with the way the Lord has implied. Let's be encouraged to save our children and adults from low self-esteem.

Summary: Teachers! Take notice!!
Comment: This no nonsense approach teaching laid out what I had always thought to be the real job of teachers-- to teach the students. In an age where excuses often prevail and everything is someone else's fault, this was a refreshing read. Mrs. Collins received much publicity for her ability to turn around these inner city Chicago kids, but the methods and techniques she uses are universal and timeless. I wish more teachers (and parents!) were aware of the ideas presented here. This should be in every teacher's library.
