Synopsis

What is the best strategy for beginning a discussion with an irate parent? How can a teacher enforce anti-tardy rules when the school offers little or no support? Why is cursive handwriting useful in today's computerized world? How should teachers notify parents of suspected drug use? These modern public school problems, among many others, are discussed at length in this book.

Geneva Fulgham urges teachers to remember that personal moral standards have to be developed and reinforced on a regular basis. She guides and encourages teachers to balance between low pay, unwanted interruptions, and frequent lack of administrative support with the vast reward of doing well in the most important occupation-teaching. Written by a teacher with three decades of experience, this work is an inspiring guide for new teachers, and experienced teachers will find validation of their own thoughts and feelings about teaching.
