Recommendation? Why or why not?

Would you recommend this book?  Why or why not?

Chapter 7 The chart on page 79 and 80 were a great help to me. I could picture the response of a few students each time I corrected their behavior. The "Behavior Related to Poverty" often matched the child's reaction to classroom discipline. The Intervention section offers good choices in helping me to understand the child's thoughts and better ways to work with my students

I enjoy reading this book. Many of the concepts resented by the author were familiar to me because I have attended may conferences and discussions pertaining to poverty in Alabama and across cultures. Reading the material presented helped me rethink the way I discipline students who are not proficient in English. Now I always to explain why a student should act a certain way in school and a different way at home or with friends. After taking the quiz to determine in which group I would feel more comfortable I find that I would survive somewhat in poverty, most comfrtable in middle lass, and least comfortable in the rich group.

Great book!! Great insights....not only about the children I'm teaching and the relationships I form, but also for my own life challenges and successes!
