Hypersensitive Dec 11, 2011
By Tuff Love
For many legitimate reasons, teachers often become hyper-sensitive and adopt a martyr complex which distorts their judgement. They work in a culture which is top down and garnished with hypocracy. Mr. Burns speaks with a matter of fact voice and attempts to trump political correctness and present a case for common sense and a system which teaches consequential thinking and recognizes that there are many reasons for behavior but there are no excuses. He cautions that creating labels for people to hide behind to excuse their behavior is dangerous. Mr. Burns is not denying the special needs of many students but would rather address these problems without labels or drugs as much is possible. Rules and regulations with compassion and understanding will better serve our children with a sense of balance than overreaction and hearing only what we want to hear.

It's about time someone has written a book that really addresses the problems we teachers face today. Thank goodness Mr. Burns has had the guts to tell it like it is. His easy to read book will entertain you and give you some great ideas about how you can improve your effectiveness as a teacher and even as a parent. What a refreshing change!

truly profound, and profoundly true Jan 19, 2009
By Etta Greenhouse
this little gem helps us remember what we as a society need to be reminded of. kids thrive on structure. of course, i have oversimplified, so read this life changing book to get the whole picture. it is so readable,and very entertaining, just full of homespun wisdom and anecdotes that had me shaking my head in rueful agreement with mr. burns' point of view. so, basically, i say, do not miss this book!
A Life Lesson on Self-Control Dec 14, 2011
By I. Schwaber
Mr. Burns clearly explains his philosophies of becoming a more successful teacher and parent. His many shared experiences as an administrator, teacher and parent are invaluable. This author questions whether or not we become enablers in allowing children to lack responsibility and respect for authority. How true, Mr. Burns, that children need direction, guidelines and structure; children DO benefit from "consequential thinking" which leads to the life-long lesson of self-control. Through reading this book, one gains insight and learns practical strategies to instill strong character qualities while building successful relationships.
Motivational May 03, 2009
By J. Rakin
I came away with renewed energy and optimism for dealing with behavioral problems in the classroom. This book is definitely an eye opener to both parents and educators. I appreciate Mr. Burns' candor and recommend this book to help anyone dealing with behavioral difficulties.
