best textbook I've ever read

Wow, this is one of the very few textbooks that I have read all the way through. It is full of practical advice for classroom management at all grade levels. Every concept is explained with one or more true stories. This makes the explanations so much more clear and helps readers to recognize real life examples they may have seen.

An Enjoyable Textbook!

For those of you who are education majors dreading having to read yet another book on educational theory, dread it no more! I think this was the most enjoyable textbook I read while in college. It offers practical cases in which the ideal and less than ideal way of doing things is illustrated, which I found very helpful. Some of the advice might be a bit idealistic, but overall I felt that it offered good ideas. It's also entertaining to see how many interesting names the author uses for students and teachers.:) He does a good job at being culturally sensitive!
