[Marc Rocket · Rating 1 out of 5]

Was given this book by school administrators of “specials” teachers, therefore only read the arts section (my teaching area). I was hoodwinked by the title that there would be classroom management tips in this book. There were none. What I read was a collection of reasons why schools should include an arts education. I suppose if I had to go before a school board I might find it useful. Aside from that, the preachy tone and old arguments I’d heard from professors a long time ago made [this] a true waste of my time.

I loved the content. At times it comes across a bit righteous, like their way is the only way. Also, at times it reads like a textbook. But overall, I enjoyed it. It left me with plenty to think about.
