Query: Books That Drive Me Crazy

This book was quite possibly the most unhelpful professional text I have ever read (and I have read a lot). The examples are cliched and overwrought; the suggestions are simplistic at best - ridiculous at worst. (For example: p. 118 Teacher: "What I'm try to say Mrs. Whittaker, and I'm not saying it very well, is that my job is to help you do your job better. I have it easy - I only deal with your child a few hours a week, but you have to live with him. I'm wondering what I can do to help you.") Who would really say such a thing to a parent? I can't imagine much that would offend and alienate a parent more than that!A colleague and I both ordered this book so that we might do a book study and work together to improve the behavior of a few students who are of concern to us. At our first book discussion we both realized this book did not meet our needs. I regret the time I spent reading this book as it could have been better spent on most anything else.
