    Ron Clark's words are very inspirational and leave you thinking how you can change the life of a student. We often forget the time, effort, and work that goes into changing the lives of students. It takes more than the just one person, it truly takes a village! In Mr. Clark's case, it takes a family (teachers, students, parents, community) all working together. Great job RCA! I cannot wait to visit!

    This book blew me away! I've been a fan of Ron Clark for years, so I knew this boom would not be a disappointment. It has inspired me to keep doing my best with each lesson plan and to not let others kill my passion. Yes, there are some suggestions and techniques that I personally cannot implement in my classroom or school, but I can take the vision of a better teaching environment and do something about it! For those teachers who want to accomplish morel their classrooms, read this book. For those parents who want their kids to be excited about learning, read this book and then tell your child's teacher to read it! Spread the word about how to end molasses classes!
