This book is garbage. It actually advocates that a teacher should shreik and pull students' hair when said students get in a fight.

What is this? When all else fails, jump in?

Oh, and the shreiking and hair-pulling should continue until help arrives.

What?

Also, these women are obsessed with crack.

This book makes absolutely no sense. They also say that teachers should cook up their own diagnostic tests to determine which of their students have any number of learning problems, and then come up with their own "codes of behavior" to deal with them.

But not until all of the students "agree to be in the experiment."

Some of this book is written IN ALL CAPS!!!!!OMG!!!!!

The rest is hokey.

For example, there's a chapter on how handicapped students and poor kids are one and the same. They should be treated with exactly the same attitude.

Which is pretty much the same attitude you treat the "Crack Kids" with - positive, talk to the uninterested parents, and then smile a lot.

Wheeeee!!! These authors are obviously on drugs themselves.

I'd like to see who told them they were allowed to write a book.

You should see the "poem" (and I use the word loosely) one of them wrote about a drug overdose. Right before they said you should take students to the morgue and the psychiatric hospital.

And if you can't take them on those field trips, you should ask ex-addicts to come talk to them.

Yay for education!
