 Excellent Resource for the Beginning Teacher July 19, 2008
This is a very interesting and helpful book for beginning teachers, or teachers who wish they ran a more effective classroom. This book is full of practical tips that you can implement right now, and is written in a very user-friendly format with lots of graphics and main ideas in bold. This is a great book.
A Must Read for New Teachers July 14, 2008
An excellent book, Harry K. Wong's The First Days of School changed my teaching style forever. It changed my life!
 Assigned? July 5, 2008
If this volume is assigned, as it was in my case, our opinion doesn't matter. I find Highlights Magazine for children to be a more penetrating look at ANYTHING than this revenue generator. Good luck, sorry if you, too were required to buy it.
 As others have already said... June 26, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
...outdated, very few useful ideas, centered around elementary education, and an absurd tone of cheerfulness mixed with condescension.
When I was a new teacher I really hoped this book would prepare me for running a smooth classroom but it just steered my thinking in the wrong direction and ultimately it probably did more harm than good.
This books "popularity" is simply due to the fact that it is a fad book within administrative circles. This is because Wong goes out of his way to argue that teachers who criticize inservice and professional development activities are just bad teachers.
Educator's Go - to Kit June 25, 2008
Very eye-opening. A truly great read for any caring educator. Time-tested and researched techniques, procedures, and rules. Even a chapter on dressing the part. Well worth every penny. I have two copies.
