    The seller of this book was not upfront in her business dealings. I needed the 5th edition, and she put the ISBN # for the 4th. Consequently I ended up paying an outrageous amount for an out of date book. The content of the book is good, but inn comparison with the current edition doesn’t compare with the quality.

    The book was very detailed. We used in our college class and it really has very interesting, upto date information. It tells us how to teach, can teaching be taught or is it an art or science. The book also tells us about pedagy and we discussed adrogogy as well.

    I am no educational research expert, but the Sadkers seem to have a very left-wing political slant in their presentation of “the facts”. Their so called “You be the judge” and other controversial issue discussions often give both sides without any evidence behind the various points of view, leading the reader to believe that they are equally valid.

    The book isn’t particularly useful either when it comes to seeking real world advice on lesson planning, disciplinary procedures, or how a mere teacher can make his/her voice heard on the school district board to effect change. It’s highly theory-based and speaks in very general terms. This is characteristic however, of many published pieces in the genre. Facts, figures, and charts are prominent and welcomed, but are few and far between.

    Overpriced for little content.

    Tha book I ordered was in the shape it was listed to be, however, it was not included in the original description that the Cd-Rom was not included with the book and I have had to get a copy of this from classmates in order to complete several of my assignments.
