The New York Times bestseller that is revolutionizing the way Americans educate their kids—“Rafe Esquith is a genius and a saint” (The New York Times)
Perhaps the most famous fifth-grade teacher in America, Rafe Esquith has won numerous awards and even honorary citizenship in the British Empire for his outstandingly successful methods. In his Los Angeles public school classroom, he helps impoverished immigrant children understand Shakespeare, play Vivaldi, and become happy, self-confident people. This bestseller gives any teacher or parent all the techniques, exercises, and innovations that have made its author an educational icon, from personal codes of behavior to tips on tackling literature and algebra. The result is a powerful book for anyone concerned about the future of our children.
Good Read
| Customer Rating:  | | I admire the accomplishments of the author. As a fellow educator, I enjoy learning about teachers who teach "outside of the box". I recommend this book. I read another review that asked about a book that answered how the "average" teacher can inspire, etc. The book Edu-lution is a must for you. |
Amazing book!
| Customer Rating: | | This is seriously one of the best books I've ever read. I bought a second one for my best friend as soon as I finished reading it the first time. |
I haven't received it yet
| Customer Rating: | Although I'm aware of a recent strike on some brazilian postal services, I'm concerned about the delay on the delivery of the 2 books I bought through this site. I'd appreciate if you could give me some inoformation on when or how I could get them.
Thank you.

Teacher with a passion
| Customer Rating: | Here is to a tremendous book. I got this book because it looked interesting and I was curious to read about a real life teacher in LA (for a great movie, see "Stand and Deliver"). This guy is amazing. My wife also read this book and was very impressed. It is a quick read (200+ pages) and very entertaining.
The first book describes the behavior this teacher is able to instill in his kids and his goals in doing so. The next part deals with how to teach certain subjects and make it interesting. I was blown away. I loved it. This guy is a genius.
This book is terrific for anyone raising kids and especially for teachers (at any level - church, elementary, middle, high, workplace, etc.). The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I wanted it to be longer. Please, enjoy this book! |
Cornucopeia
| Customer Rating: | | TEACH LIKE YOUR HAIR'S ON FIRE was our book club's recent selection. Several members are retired teachers, and were stupified at the amount of time the author devotes to his class... and somewhat skeptical. Those of us who aren't teachers found literally dozens of fascinating, practical tips about interacting with children in a variety of situations... travel, reading, character development, dining, finances... This is a terrific book, not only because it paints a fantastic picture of possibilities and change, but also because it is infused with such enthusiasm. |
