An Easy Read That Left Me Wanting |
I was so impressed that Mr. Rubenstein had been named teacher of the year, and that he used humor in his title that I really wanted to read his book.
Many of us want to hear eachothers' stories and gain knowledge, new perspective, or steal from another teacher's toolbox of tricks.
My opinion of Mr. Rubenstein's experience is that he has become a hardened, sarcastic, and unresponsive teacher. His theories and strategies are very last century, and I do not mean 1990. While I applaud his ability to poke fun at himself, to recognize that he is always under the microscope of his students, and to have created a strategy that "worked" for him, I cringe at the lessons (humane, societal, responsive, responsible) that he's teaching his high school students.
My suggestion to all educators' looking for a helpful book on classroom management and discipline is to first take a good long hard look at themselves and ask two questions. First, What do I want the children to learn? Second, How am I planning hte activity for success?

So relevant and accurate |
I so enjoyed "Reluctant Disciplinarian". Gary Rubenstein, in recalling his experiences as a beginning teacher, will cause you to laugh out loud as you read and identify with his very well written memoirs...of what doesn't work and how that classroom management is not taught to student teachers going through the student teaching program.
This book is a must read for beginning and experienced teachers alike. |
