Why read it?

1 author picked Why Did I Get a B? And Other Mysteries We're Discussing in the Faculty Lounge as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I understood that it’s okay to smile in class before Christmas, which holiday gifts teachers really want, and that faculty meetings can be long and dry in other schools. The book gave me insight into one person’s experiences in a school, which sometimes I related to and other times, I didn’t.

From Jennifer's list on becoming a great teacher.
