"Teachers are the heroes we too often forget to thank. And we need heroes more than ever. From across the country, from kindergarten to high school, from public to private, religious, and military schools, teachers tell us: what it takes to teach kids daily, what it takes to improve kids' lives, what it takes to foster lifelong readers and lifelong learners. If you can read this, someone care about you. If you can read this, you want a brighter future for our kids. If you can read this, thank a teacher"-- Front jacket flap.

- If it could be just us and our kids, it would be the best job in the world -- There are so many misconceptions about education right now -- Teaching isn't about being right or wrong; it's about listening and considering -- There's always stuff going on well before the kids show up -- There's tired and then there's teacher tired.
