Report
“Because teaching and learning is so intimately connected to every facet of human existence, this book is going to resonate deeply with everyone (not just teachers). I particularly loved the last sentence, "The great good teacher is happy and one with himself, and he wants us to be the same. He will die with a smile on his face."”
