I've read and re-read this book so many times and I will continue to do so. It is packed with pearls of wisdom, yet it is very down to earth. Stuffed with erudite quotes and soundbites to impress and still full of accessible, humourous chalk face common sense. Ian Gilbert clearly cares about the future of our children and our teachers - every page screams with heartfelt passion. New teachers, jaded teachers, the cynical and the searching - we can all benefit, professionally and personally, from this truly excellent book.
Simply the best! January 14, 2003

I have been in 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 and have just ordered copies for all staff. Ian Gilbert manages to inform, inspire and entertain all at once. I believe that implementing the suggestions that Ian promotes will make a difference to the well being and success of our school. It should be compulsory reading for all teachers.
