Overview:
When working with children, as a parent, or an educator, one needs a template to follow, and this is one educators guide. Ron Clark, a fifth-grade teacher from rural North Carolina, was confronted with a challenge. How do you get kids to be interested in learning? How do you guide them to be good students? To start, he listed out some basic rules.
Here Is What The Book Was About:
Handbook and biographical account of Ron’s experiences teaching in North Carolina, and in New York City public schools. Complete with an explanation of the roots of his essential 55 list, and anecdotes of how his students earned fun field trips.
Rating: (1 to 5)
4.6 based on the fun factor, and valuable content that you can try on your own kids. Some of the tales will have you laughing out loud!
Other Thoughts on The Book:
A reminder to adults that we must guide children, rather than expecting them to behave a certain way. A big take away from the book for me is to do more than simply calling out bad behavior, but to also give support and direction.
