Book Description

July 28, 1999
A Celebration of the Power of Teaching
There is a moment for most teachers when the lure of working with kids surpasses all logic: You know, you just know, that you are meant to teach. But in the day-to-day crush of details and bus duty, politics and paperwork, or kids without their homework for the eighth day in a row, life can erode passion and distract you from your sense of purpose. This collection of stories from teachers everywhere will remind you of those magic moments when a light goes on in the eyes of a child, when resistance breaks, when hearts connect—moments that make the challenges of teaching worth every second and remind you of why you are here in the first place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teachers Say The Darnedest Things, January 12, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Why I Teach: Inspirational True Stories from Teachers Who Make a Difference (Paperback)
Thank you for the delightful book. I am not a teacher, but I know many and know what a challenge teaching can be in this day and age. I loved the inspirational stories, but was entranced with "Labor of Love." It was a true analogy of what so many of my friends are experiencing. I hope you have the inspiration and time to write further on this subject.

This review is from: Why I Teach: Inspirational True Stories from Teachers Who Make a Difference (Paperback)
This book is wonderful for:
new teachers
potential teachers
seasoned teachers
parents
anyone passionate about young children

This sweet book would make a FABULOUS and much appreciated gift!
I suggest buying a few and having them on hand. An inexpensive way to show encouragement and provide inspiration to someone you care about. Teachers give SO much of themselves, why not give a little something back?
