Title: I wish I'd read this sooner.
Product review: As a novice teacher, I read this book with vigor during my first break. It contains valuable information that I wish I'd known before I started. I'm sure all teachers eventually figure out what works for them, but it would be great if every new teacher could carry this book in his pocket during those first trying months. It's nice to know that most teachers experienced frustrations, questioned their choice of profession, and wondered if they would ever be able to juggle the tasks required of them. Unfortunately, this book tries to answer all the questions at once, leaving the reader with reassurance that they're not alone, some good general suggestions, but few specific solutions to common problems. It's good--but I wish it had gone further. Also, my editon contained many typos and seemed tied to specific local school policies and procedures.
