As a teacher myself, I thought this book did a good job of showing the conditions in which teachers works every day. It reminded me of what Sharon McMahon says, “Teacher working conditions are student learning conditions,” emphasizing the importance of caring about what teachers are going through. I found the informational parts of the book to be the most well done, while the biographical parts sometimes were more awkwardly written. I listen to the audiobook of this, which was read by the author, and some of those biographical parts were made even more awkward by the accents she put on. For myself, this book wasn’t as elucidating since I am a teacher, however for someone who is not a teacher or not a close friend or family member to one, it most likely be more of an eye-opener.
