Summary: Too good to teach!
Comment: I got angry at the immoral way administrators disposed of a darned good teacher who became a perceived threat to their personal aspirations, simply because she had a great vision which encompassed giving priority to the needs of the children! What does "education" stand for, if not providing the best environment for learning? How can an "excellent record" of any administrator or school be applied in an arbitrary fashion to results based on the numbers of kids pushed through the system? Well written the story combines amusing anecdotes interspersed with frightening pictures of power struggles. This book provides a warning for all idealistic teachers.

Summary: Thrilling
Comment: Your (hi)story remains so fascinating that I only reluctantly interrupt
reading it to look up words in the dictionary. It took a while since it is
not written in my native tongue but (it) is fascinating and (a book) one can
hardly stop reading. You certainly are a gifted writer. The more I read the
more I felt uneasy, annoyed (and)even disgusted by the behavior of some
people you describe. If it were a story that (was) made up from a to z,
OK, but when . . . everything really happened - well then it is almost a
miracle that you are still the sound mind and pleasant, interesting, engaged
and lively, well-balanced person friends love and appreciate.
Congratulations Erwin Kaufmann

Summary: Reads Like a Spy Thriller
Comment: This true story reads like a first class spy thriller. It is so surreal that Stephen King could not do a better job. The average person would not think things like this could possibly happen in a field that is supposed to be dedicated to educating our students. Instead, we find that solid professionalism takes a back seat to powerful individuals political agenda. I am a teacher and have seen some pretty strange things happen, but never on this scale. Read it and see what I mean.
