A Rotten Apple by Mara A. Uman is the definitive 'how to teach' introduction to education for the 21st century teacher who is faced with myriad students. A challenge to parents and teachers alike, this entertaining book will leave the reader both amused and contemplative!
One reviewer says, "It is this generation's Up the Down Staircase."
Another calls the author, "the greatest kind of revolutionary. She knows how to make something that is nearly broken to death turn, come alive, and work as gloriously and creatively as the best in this nation's mind's eye and heart's hope has ever desired."
"A Rotten Apple clearly captures the joys and frustrations that are felt by many of our public school teachers..." says another.
A must-read for educators, students of education, and parents who hope to help their children learn.
