Just when I was planning to do a series of workshops for teachers in a local school in Karachi, Pakistan, I come upon this jewel of a book, full of warmth, common sense and pragmatism in taking a good hard look at teacher's lives. Wonderful!

Full of practical advice, strategies that make sense for managing a classroom and improving teaching. It was also an inspiring book, good for keeping up one's spirits during the first few years of teaching.
