This book was amazing. So much of it resonated with me: students from difficult situations, getting cussed at, feeling under-appreciated, spending lots of your own money, finding help in other teachers, etc. I admired her courage in doing what she thought was best for her students and not letting petty details and people stop her. I want her courage.

She made several suggestions at the end of the book I also found helpful. Ideas about how to keep loving teaching. Most advice doesn't work that way.
