Very readable, very common sense, very thought provoking - By: , 29 Jan 2005 
I've read & re-read this book so many times & I will continue to do so. It is packed with pearls of wisdom, yet it is very down to earth. Stuffed with erudite quotes & soundbites to impress & still full of accessible, humourous chalk face common sense. Ian Gilbert clearly cares about the future of our children & our teachers - every page screams with heartfelt passion. New teachers, jaded teachers, the cynical & the searching - we can all benefit, professionally & personally, from this truly excellent book.
Simply the best! - By: , 14 Jan 2003 I have beenin Education for over twenty years, five as the Head of a High school. In all that time I have never read a more accessible, humourous or thought provoking book about education. I read it from cover to cover within 24 hours of it arriving & have just ordered copies for all staff. Ian Gilbert manages to inform, inspire & entertain all at once. I believe that implementing the suggestions that Ian promotes will make a difference to the well being & success of our school. It should be compulsory reading for all teachers.
