Absolute Best Gift for Teacher in your Life!!

I bought this book for my husband who is an elementary teacher. As soon as he opened it, he could not put it down. Each of the stories are great conversation pieces for fellow teachers and parents alike. Phillip Dclass="textlinks">one reminds his readers that we're never too old to learn from children, and most importantly, to remain child-like ourselves in how we approach the world - not taking ourselves or others too seriously!

Hilarious, Inciteful Events in the Life of a Teacher

Phillip Dclass="textlinks">one has summed up his teaching career with short, funny events that left me rolling on the floor! Parents and teaches alike should enjoy this inciteful book that's fast and easy to read!This should be a "must read" for those wanting to teach.

Great reading for teachers of all age groups!

This book was very well written. Phillip Dclass="textlinks">one captures the essence of teaching with his amusing and heartwarming anecdotes. I absolutely loved it!

Well-crafted book on 32+ levels!!

Dclass="textlinks">one has done good. Oops, I mean done well.

What a terrific read!! I know so many people in education who speak poignantly of the obstacles they must hurdle to teach childen, and this book will be a comfort and inspiration to each one. This is no puff piece, but great and accessible writing about essential issues or early childhood education and the policy supporting it (or not...) Done covers everything from inadequate classroom supplies (that a teacher must cover out-of-pocket), discovering and tactfully handling parent illiteracy, the problems of labeling and separating "gifted" children from those ridiculously-labelled as "non-gifted," and finally...explaining why the class girl bunny produced all those wittle wabbits after it spent the weekend with a 3rd-grader whose pet was a boy bunny. But while absorbing all this , the reader never realizes that s/he's devouring anything more than pure enjoyment, as Done makes sure it's all executed with objectivity and almost a hint self-deprecation that makes him and his students such characters of empathy.

I am a childless classical musician, not even an educator. Yet I can see that those who only KNOW anyone with an elementary-school-age child will love this book. Done is a teacher, a man , and a grownup sometimes frustrated with the resources of an underfunded school district (even in relatively-"monied" Silicon Valley.) But most of all, I finished this book with the indelible impression of Done as a human being who cares deeply about the future of children and education. Buy it, read it, then give it to your friends, whether parents or not.
