5.0 out of 5 stars A Man of Educational Integrity

His book serves as an excellent tonic for removing many of the cobwebs of bad thinking predominant in American public education. I highly recommend this book to all educators who want to clear out some of...

1.0 out of 5 stars Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach, write books like this.
Mr. Aranoff is a jackanapes. He writes reviews about others' books that he has never read by making gross ASSumptions based upon anonymous reviews he has read rather than his own reading of the book. This is sloppy and lazy science. Students will be able to think and do better than Mr. Aranoff if they simply read the material in question themselves, a point that Mr...

I highly recommend this book to all educators who want to clear out some of their own conceptual cobwebs, post haste.

5.0 out of 5 stars for all new teachers and their teachers, November 11, 2007
This review is from: Teaching and Helping Students Think and Do Better: Things to Help Students Think and To Do Better in School and In Life (Paperback)
I would suggest this book to all math ed students - there are many things that are very useful for beginner teachers - things we learn with time and call it exparience, but then think - wish I known that earlier...

Seriously? Read the product description, which was written by the author. This person has published a book? He can't even complete a sentence! I don't know what Ph.D. stands for in this context, but I assure you that it doesn't mean what you think it means. I really hope this product is a joke. If it isn't, I weep for the future.
