Did You Ever Have the Teacher...: Stories from People Who Survived Their Education Nelson M. Russell

We all remember teachers. Whether they encouraged us or impaired us, we remember them and their impact. In life, though, we are all teachers, whether as educators, parents, nurses, fellow workers, etc. Do we support and open doors, or do we humiliate and act as gatekeepers? The book is a collection of "teacher stories," from the inspiring to the outrageous. They invite us to be self-reflective as they are organized around issues of trust, power, boundaries, etc. How well do we educate and treat others? Reflect on your own teacher stories and ask, "Are we the best we can be?"
