12 of 12 people found the following review helpful: A wonder! A beautiful and practical book., October 26, 2003 Reviewer:Deborah Meier (Hillsdale, New York United States) - Ron Berger has put together a way of thinking about standards that surpasses anything I've read up to now. It made me want to start school and teaching all over again, and to feel sad that none of my own children or grandchildren had him as a teacher. This is one of those rare accounts that you KNOW is true. (I happen to know it based on a visit I made to his chool some years ago.) Order it immediately.--send it to a friend amd colleague.

“. . . passionate stories from an inspiring, ever imaginative teacher whose demands on his students are high and those on himself even higher. He writes of teaching as”–
