General Note This book is reviewed in the Queensland Teachers' Journal, Vol. 123 No. 7, 2018, p. 28. See link at the foot of the record.
Summary Note "Watching children learn is a beautiful and extraordinary experience. Their bodies transform, reflecting inner changes. Teeth fall out. Knees scab. Freckles multiply. Throughout the year they grow in endless ways and I can almost see their self-esteem rising, their confidence soaring, their small bodies now empowered. Given wings. They fall in love with learning. It is a kind of magic, a kind of loving, a kind of art. It is teaching. Just teaching. Just what I do. What I did. Past tense. Gabrielle Stroud was a dedicated teacher with over a decade of experience. But she resigned in frustration and despair because NAPLAN standardised testing and My School were preventing her from doing the very thing she was best at: teaching individual children according to their needs and talents. This powerful memoir ... explores what it means to be a teacher: what makes a great teacher, what our kids need from their teachers. It tells the story of Gabbie's clear gift for teaching and what it was that finally broke her. Already being hailed as a work of national importance by educators, 'Teacher' is a brilliant and heart-breaking memoir that cuts through the platitudes and statistics to show that our current education system is failing our children and destroying their teachers." - First page (unnumbered).
