What Teachers Make: In Praise of the Greatest Job in the World Audiobook

" I thought it was going to be a strictly call-to-arms speech, but it turned out to be highly informative and even gave me a few good teaching ideas. "

" In truth, most teachers have written this book in their heads or in stories told at cocktail parties, but it is refreshing to see that we're not the only ones. "

" This book just seems to perpetuate the myth that the joys of educating kids should be payment enough. "

" If you've ever thought of being a teacher, admired a teacher, had a teacher...hell, if you read books, you should read this. Chock-full of insights into the world that teachers now live in, the challenges that they face, and the joy they can bring. "

" I think the original spoken word piece is a lot more powerful than the extended blabbering. "

" There are few books that can be legitimately said to deserve a 6-star rating in a 5-star system. What such a book must contain has to be overwhelmingly important and extraordinarily well-written. This is one of those books. "

" A fantastic and inspirational read for all teachers or people who "think" they know what teachers do. "

" I'll keep it simple: If you are an educator, if you aspire to be an educator, if you regularly work with children in any capacity... you MUST read this book. "

" This book is wonderful to read to help re-inspire teachers. I loved it. "

" As teaching books go, this was nothing that made me really laugh or cry. If you want a good teaching book, read Thirty Three Third Graders and One Class Bunny. Much more memorable! :) "

" After watching his youtube video, I wanted this book. He recounts his years in the classroom. I actually took notes while reading this!!! "

" Every teacher should read this book! It reminds you why you chose to teach in the first place. "

" good book about the joy of being a teacher "

" Read this today while perusing the education shelves at B+N. Mali, following his renowned poetry by the same name, puts some of the most intangible aspects of teaching into words. Loved it and what it stands for. "

" A great short read. If only teachers were treated with more respect and paid better.... "

" I suddenly want to buy this book for every teacher, every coach, every librarian, and especially for every F-ING ANNOYING PARENT I have ever met. :) "

" A short, sweet essay collection that is part memoir, part practical teaching advice, part poetry, but that is always inspirational. "

" So great! A rejuvenating read after an amazing, empowering conference. "

" Great book. Taylor Mali came to my school, St. Luke's, the day of his release party. He's a wonderful speak and a great writer. "
