I am a second year teacher and was hoping this book would provide lots of great concrete ideas to use this year. Instead it is full of the same things found in other classroom management books, but with no real "wow" ideas. After a few days of reviewing its contents, I decided to sell it back on Amazon. More useful to me was "The Keys to the Classroom".

This item arived in less than a week. Impressive for a book, because for every school book I used to order, it would take 2-3-4 weeks or more. So THANKS for delivering "just a book" in a timely fashion.
