So far I find this book very interesting. It’s full of very helpful information. I do agree when it says that your beliefs influence your students or how we teach. So education students really do need to know themselves and know why they want to be a teacher. I know that we have some teachers out there right now that probably shouldn’t be teachers because they do not have the right attitude. And we probably have teachers like the one teacher who asked the other teacher why she came in early and did the extra work when she doesn’t get paid for it. It’s a bad attitude like that that makes for a bad teacher because it shows she isn’t committed to being the best teacher she can be.
I also was excited when I found out about the companion CD that came with the book. I was just thinking in class last Monday about how are we supposed to know which books are age appropriate or good books for kids and I read in the book about how you can search the database on the CD and find age appropriate books or do a search by author or genre. It’s good to know. I’m sure it will come in handy.

you are correct, there are many teachers out there that do not belong in teaching. for whatever reason, they have lost their passion for this profession if they had it to begin with and it is time for them to get out. Unfortunately, they do not. I work in a high school and I see many, many teachers like this. It is very sad because the only one that loses is the student.
