See Me After Class: Advice for Teachers by Teachers by Roxanna Elden

3.0

This book is the opposite of one of those feel-good teacher movies. You know, the one where all the students are troublemakers and by the end they're all singing kum-by-ya in the classroom together? Roxanna Elden gives new teachers a dose of reality but then offers practical advice for how to deal with some very typical teacher problems with the caveat that there is no blanket solution to every conflict. Elden is extremely frank with her readers while still giving them some measure of hope to keep going. Her lighthearted humor keeps this book from feeling too austere.
