Ebook description

Absolute power corrupts absolutely--a teacher's power isn't nearly that cool. In a rapid-fire, no-holds-barred journey through one teacher's first year, you'll see what makes teaching such an impossible yet rewarding profession. Along the way you'll get plenty of unsolicited advice. Perfect for the new teacher in your life or anyone who likes quirky comedy topped with some healthy sentimentality.

Review by: Kelli Caselman on June 20, 2010 :
I'm not a teacher, but as a parent I can appreciate Mr. Nicely's wisdom. I think the true value of different teaching methods is determined by the results. I had 4 children go through the school system. When they had teachers they admired, learning was fun for them. When they had teachers they feared, learning lost its joy. Thank goodness, the sour, disapproving teachers were in the minority. Every teacher leaves a mark on a child's soul.

To Brenda Monson: Perhaps you've been teaching too many years without enough laughter sprinkled into your 'educator of Classroom Management at the University Level'. I am absolutely delighted to have run into Mr. Nicely before I had to take a class from you!

Enjoyable quick read. It feels like a memoir written as a book of advice, some of which is quite good.

I have been an educator for over 20 years and now teach Classroom Management at a University level. And I would not recommend this book to any of my students about to enter the job. Being funny shouldn't be the first goal of being informative.

I've wondered what the secrets to being a great teacher were. If only ALL teachers would read this book! Glad I did. Mr. Nicely delivers some sage advice in a really enjoyable way.

Review by: Jeff Hurlow on April 03, 2010 :
I found it both funny, sad, disturbing and poignant. Pete tackles this subject from a real insiders point of view and captures all the subtle details that make it so realistic. And that cover is brilliant!

I loved it! I can't wait to send it to my friend who teaches high school. Very heart-warming and it sounds like being teacher is a rewarding and great profession.

Very inspirational - I didn't expect it to move me but it did. I immediately sent it to my friends, who loved it and sent to out as well.
