Started this book today.

Liked this quote (I thought I’d heard most of the teacher metaphors…)

“What we ask of teachers would be like asking a doctor to see her patients in groups of thirty, diagnose their individual problems within forty-five minutes, and then prescribe effective, personalized treatment plans that constantly evolve in real time as each person’s health changes.”

I know, I know, I read these sorts of books waiting to see if they actually understand teacher work.
