The students in an elementary school have discovered that teachers have tattoos. The teachers are trying to hide the tattoos and the students do not understand why. One student in particular, believes that the tattoos are wonderful and do not impact how the teachers are as people. Teachers are Human Too sends a wonderful message that just because someone may look a certain way or make the choice to have tattoos does not mean that they are not as good at their job. It is crazy how in today’s world teachers are still judged by the ink on their skin or the personal choice they make. Teachers are Human Too will teach people that teachers are still able to be fantastic at their job despite the marks on their skin.

"In this timely update of the seminal classic, author and activist Jodee Blanco reveals how she simply set out to share her story-and ended up igniting a grassroots movement in the nation's schools. The first survivor of school bullying to look back on those experiences as an adult, Jodee brings you up to speed on her life and work since the book's initial release with a new chapter, all-new Letter to My Readers, and Reader's Guide. She also offers the latest information on digital and cyberbullying, the Adult Survivor of Peer Abuse, her in-school antibullying program, INJJA (It's NOT Just Joking Around!), and provides discussion questions for schools. While other children were daydreaming about dances, first kisses, and college, Jodee Blanco was trying to figure out how to go from homeroom to study hall without being taunted or spit upon as she walked through the halls. This powerful, unforgettable memoir chronicles how one child was shunned-and even physically abused-by her classmates from elementary school through high school. It is an unflinching look at what it means to be the outcast, how even the most loving parents can get it all wrong, why schools are often unable to prevent disaster, and how bullying has been misunderstood and mishandled by the mental health community"--

"Bobby thinks his teacher, Ms. Kirby, is horrible, but when he sees her outside of school and they spend a day in the park together, he discovers she might not be so bad after all." -- Verso.

This engaging and helpful book is both a thoughtful celebration of the learning process and a practical guide to becoming a better student. Written by the authors of the acclaimed Elements of Teaching, it is designed to help students of all ages—particularly high school and college students—attain their full potential for success in any area of study. James M. Banner, Jr., and Harold C. Cannon explore the qualities needed to get the most out of education: industry, enthusiasm, pleasure, curiosity, aspiration, imagination, self-discipline, civility, cooperation, honesty, and initiative. For each of these elements they offer general reflections, useful suggestions, and a description of a fictional student who either embodies or lacks these qualities. The second part of the book helps students understand the environment in which they learn, by focusing on such topics as teachers, the curriculum, ways of learning, and the transition from school to college. The core points of the text are reinforced by answers to questions that haunt students, as well as tips on what to do to become the best student possible. Throughout, the authors encourage students to consider learning as part of their lives and to be active participants in their own education.

Its true what they say about a teacher being on the front lines, up close and personal, with students from all walks of life and backgrounds. Many think this line is a dangerous one with the children of today, but this teacher wants you to see children as she has seen them for yearsas beautiful human beings who are worthy of being taught. In this book you will journey through the humor, emotions, stress, and rewards of teaching children in an inner city school district. You will laugh. You may cry, but most importantly, you will see these children as precious darlings, just as the author did as she went through the experience of teaching. This book is a must read for new teachers, potential teachers, parents, students, and anyone who believes in the universal love of children.

The author and his immediate family live in Eagle County, Colorado. It is better known to the world as the Vail Valley. Vail's reputation for its natural beauty and outdoor activities all year long is well deserved. It brings people from all over the world to visit or live. As with any town or city, there are some not-so-nice people. There is always a dark underside, and this was what the author dealt with during his thirty-year career in Vail. The author realized early in his career that although the police work was difficult, dangerous, and stressful, it also had a humorous side. This led to the author keeping notes in these humorous situations over the years, which led to the writing of this book.
