The book was in good condition and arrived in about five days. I was happy to get it before I went on vacation.

Customer Rating: 

I found a big mistake on page 70. Mr Rafe says "0 divided by any number is 0" which is completely false since if I am allowed to divide 0 by any number, let me divide 0 by 0. Then I have a little problem, don't I. Otherwise, great book.

When you need inspiration on ways to make your teaching come alive Teach Like Your Hair's on Fire is just the book for you. I have used ideas suggested by Rafe Esquith with first graders through college age kids.

Lively and inspiring it's a book that you just can't put down.

Rafe Esquith is truly an inspiring teacher. He uses very creative methods for engaging his students, and I hope that he provides a blueprint for other teachers. My only quibble is that his feeling towards administrators are laid bare. Did he not have any that helped him achieve the goals that he set for his classroom? He could have been a little more generous with his fellow teachers: there were only a couple of mentions regarding the good ideas of others.
