ANNOUNCING!!!!

Mr. Teachbad’s Offi­cial Teach­bad Book Club Even­tac­u­lar Dis­cus­sion Series (MTOTbBCEDS). Here’s what we’ll do in MTOTbBCEDS.

3) About a month later I post a lit­tle review and we chat; if the author wishes, he or she may write some­thing to begin the dis­cus­sion and/or respond directly to ques­tions and com­ments from readers.

Yes? OK. Let’s begin.

We will start with Why Great Teach­ers Quit and How We Might Stop the Exo­dus by Katy Far­ber. Buy it. Then read it.
