I had to read this book because of a teacher’s request, for a topic at the university. She came to the classroom with this book, as if it were the essential guide on teaching – well, she obviously liked it, but not everybody has to agree with the “thoughts” there. The things the authors wrote are so obvious, at least for some persons, that all I can say is that I really had a very excellent time reading it as a comic book, nothing else. I laughed very much with all the explanations a teacher gave to a 7 or 9 year-ancient pupil, because he touched her on the arm. It was a address, not a simple explanation! Clearly we have to be polite, encouraging and nice towards the students. But this book really exagerated some points in such a foolish way, that I could only laugh.
Maybe it’s excellent for people who are starting a teaching career – then I would say read it, but even though I would be very cautious.

Should be called – how to give children permission to be in charge This book is for parents and teachers who want permission to let the children be in charge. If you are a firm believer that the parent calls the shots, this book is not for you. One of the suggestions in this book is to place notes for the child, as a replacement for of confronting disciplinary issues head on. Part of our job, as parents, is to prepare children for the real world. If the child learns to write notes as a replacement for of dealing with issues face to face, she will be perceived as devious and spineless once she gets into the real world. I also establish the dialog between the teachers to be contrived and very forced. A waste of time.

I was in a rush and thought it was about ‘How to talk so kids can learn…TO TALK.’ So as the non-educator mother of a 13 month-ancient, my opinion may not be the most valuable. But, I did find the book to be a small wishy-washy. Of course its better to open a dialogue rather than to address, but does an adult have the obligation to walk on eggshells when responding to poor behavior on the part of a child? And while I can see why gratuitous punishment might not work well, the advice to never punish seemed off base to me. It could easily be interpreted as ‘never force a child to face the negative consequences of their actions.’ I just don’t reflect that works with kids. But, like I said, I’m not a teacher. It does seem like some of the advice in the book might make a better classroom environment in the long run.

As a middle school 6th grade teacher, I experience the gamut of behavoir issues from too much chatting, to rudeness to the occasional pushing/fighting. I establish myself reverting to what this book suggests you don’t do (but most teachers do) and that is to constantly say “Don’t” and “because I said so”. While I control out of punishment and consequences, I was not feeling I was controlling out of respect. I was searching for a book that could help me, and came across this one. I liked the simple concepts. I liked the actual examples used of predictable classroom issues. This book made me “reflect” about how I am coming across to my kids now and how I SHOULD come across. The only part of the book that left me wondering was ‘how do teachers have time to apply this’. I wish the leader could have addressed that issue more.
