People instinctively enjoy helping others in need. Teachers believe helping to be their calling in life. Educators not only have the opportunity but the responsibility to help mold today`s youthful minds intellectually, preparing our young to be ready to meet the challenges of America`s future.

Becoming a teacher is easy. BEING a teacher is NOT! Abraham Dicker Stein, freshly back from the jungles of Vietnam, wanted to reach every 8th grade child he taught....to make a positive impact on America`s future leaders.

Live vicariously through the idealistic Abe and follow him through 27 years in the classroom and five more years as an early-retiree. Read how he 'survives' in a district that went from good to worse to scary. Experience funny moments, ugly moments, and moments that brought Abe to anger or tears.

You want to be a successful teacher? You think you have what it takes to deal with tough-minded junior high kids? You`ll have a good idea about YOUR instincts after you finish reading The Storyteller: How Hard Can Teaching 8th Graders Be?
