Summary: Cullum captures a comic commentary of teachers and education
Review: "The Geranium on the Window Sill Just Died, but Teacher You Went Right On" is a commentary on teachers and education. The subject matter is current and applicable. Colorful, comic, and controversial would describe the contemporary treatment of education. This book is a collector find. I have, in over twenty-five years of teaching, had two personal copies. Both have "disappeared" while being shared in the teachers'lounge. My favorite parts were the direct and satirical "hits" on an insensitive strain of educators who still exist in any school system. The pictures tell educational truths in ways that words cannot express. I found it hilarious!

Summary: A Great Teacher Gift
Review: This book was shared by another faculty member as a yard sale find. I felt the book expressed a variety of emotions that anyone of us may have experienced in an academic setting. The statements though short and sweet are written in a childs point of view. School needs to be a place alive with energy and and the capacity to allow a child's mind to soar. However, the confinds of the educational system and society, can lead to a less than desirable atmosphere. A great reminder of why most got into the teaching profession and a great gift to the graduate about to emabark on this career.

Summary: A teacher's "must" read
Review: This is a book about teachers being openminded and letting a child be creative instead of following all the strigent guildlines. Every teacher should read this book!
