Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Many readers have come to expect that anything authored by Kidder ( House, LJ 8/85; Soul of a New Machine, LJ 8/81) will be of high merit. This latest nonfiction work is no exception. It tells in detail the story of a young teacher's daily life and work in the Kelly School, a part of the Holyoke, Massachusetts school system. From September to June, Chris Zajac, a caring, dedicated teacher struggles with the nearly superhuman task of teaching inner-city children, many from impoverished and broken homes. Her pupils are often ill-fed, victims of severe neglect, or worse. Readers will become engrossed in her daily battle to teach these youngsters. (Over half stay up until 12:30 a.m. to watch TV). She agonizes over her pupils, one Clarence in particular. Kidder allows the reader to savor the small daily victories and taste the angst of failure. A warm, honest, refreshingly positive look inside a classroom. Essential for most libraries.

Kurzbeschreibung
Tracy Kidder -- the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Soul of a New Machine and the extraordinary national bestseller House -- spent nine months in Mrs. Zajac's fifth-grade classroom in the depressed "Flats" of Holyoke, Massachusetts. For an entire year he lived among twenty schoolchildren and their indomitable, compassionate teacher -- sharings their joys, their catastrophes, and their small but essential triumphs. As a result, he has written a revealing, remarkably poignant account of education in America . . . and his most memorable, emotionally charged, and important book to date.

Format:Taschenbuch
I had to read this book for my education class, and I did not like the book very much. The book was too easy to read and the teacher Mrs. Zajac is idolized through out the book. When writing about any person, including a teacher, there should be some demonstration of mistakes they made and how they learned from them. This teacher was just to perfect for me to believe. However, I did like some of her teaching styles and found them useful.
Format:Taschenbuch
This book shows how teachers care for their students. Mrs. Zajac wanted to improve the lifes of all her students. She tried hard dealing with Clareance and Robert. She wanted the best for each student as if they were her bilogical children. A student teacher relationship is desribed so well in this book. Upcoming teachers who read this book will read about how everyday activities are carried out in the classroom. They may start off teaching a little rough but after a couple of years of experience everything will work out.

I'm an education major at Macon State College in Macon, Ga, and I read this book for one of my classes. I thought it was pretty good, and although it was very easy to read, at times I thought it would be more appropriate for a middle schooler. It gave a good insight as to where Mrs. Zajak's fifth grade students were from, and why they acted like they did, instead of just showing them as gifted or problematic kids. It pointed out many problems in the public school system, and gave good examples of what we, as future teachers, will have to deal with. I don't know exactly how good this book will help me in my future career, but it gave a real account of the trials and joys of teaching, and really showed what the average day (or year)for a teacher is really like.
