5.0 out of 5 stars
This book is inspiring and captivating!,
By Christine M. Westerman (Rochester, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pipe Dreams: One Teacher's Journey (Paperback)
Pipe Dreams: One Teacher's Journey by A. R. Magaletta McClure is one of the best books I have ever read. She is captivating as she dicusses her eight years of teaching emotionally disturbed children. You fall in love with each of the children that she discusses and feel as if you are there with them. McClure discusses through the book all of the lessons that these children have been able to teach her. It is impossible to not be inspired by her warm stories and true-to-life struggles. ANYONE who teaches or is connected to children with disabilities in any way will be drawn into this book. This book also traces the different ways in which our public education system has dealt with students with disabilities throughout the seventies and early eighties. For all of these reasons, this book would be an excellent book for teachers to share in a book club and/or for professors to assign their students who are interested in teaching children with disabilities. Readers will find themselves laughing out loud as they hear about some of the various situations and antics that take place and will become emotionally involved with each of the children and their particular struggles. Pipe Dreams: One Teacher's Journey by A.R. Magaletta McClure is a rare find. Once you've read it, you will never look at education or our nation's children the same way again.

Reading this book has inspired me to become the teacher that I know I can be. Mrs. McClure is a truly gifted person and I hope to one day life up to be the type of teacher she is in this book.
