Average rating: Stars

It is "OK"

I was not impressed with this book. It was not as interesting or an informational as i had hoped. I read rookie teaching for dummies and i had really liked it It is not a bad book, it has some good ideas, they are just a little "fluffy". It is not good, it is not bad, it is just ok.

Good for Readers

If you're going to be a teacher, and you can read well, try Bonnie's book out. It can't hurt: At the least, the book will get the mental wheels spinning for soft education majors. Other reviewers (below) who gave this book 1-2 stars may well be from a union campaign. They know that if *some* teachers are actually prepared, then *they'll all* have to do some work! I say, "Let's raise the bar, folks! Teachers *should* read books, and teachers should be prepared. Let's leave the days of lazy, chubby, chit chat about sit-coms, 'not my job' teaching behind us!" Bonnie's book is a step in the right direction. I suggest it for all teachers who can read well.

Not helpful enough...

This book was a big disappointment - especially with the $17.95 price. I was looking for ideas on how to set up my classroom, manage my classroom and organize my room. Instead, this book spent too much time focusing on what to do when you are initially hired - such as meet with the building principal, tour the area, get familiar with your new school. Although this info is important, it really won't help someone get through the day to day aspects of teaching - which is what I was after.
