Title: Excellent
Product review: I first read this book when I was studying to be a teacher, and found it inspiring. It was encouraging to know that there were other educators out there who respected children, worked to build a close-knit and peaceful classroom community, partered with parents in education, and welcomed and acknowledged children's thoughts, feelings, and ideas. I am now a second-year teacher, also at a progressive early childhood program, and I am more aware than ever of the truth in Wollman's book. I thank her for her gift to children and parents as an educator, her contribution to the small collection of excellent books on progressive teaching, and also for helping me know the words to use when others suggest that pre-school really is all about playdough.
