 Not what I expected January 5, 2006

1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I'm a pre-service teacher and have been looking for books to guide me as I go through my teacher training. I found this book based on a quote by Schlatter I discovered on the internet. I was a little disappointed. While the stories are inspiring, I had hoped that they would be more teacher-oriented. In fact, they're not. Most of the stories are of day-to-day life. If you are looking for a "chicken soup"-like book, get this one. If you want information on what it's like to be a teacher, buy something else.

one of my step-childrens' favorite memories occurred when we lost electrical power during a winter storm (nature's reminder of who's in charge!); by candlelight, i read to them the john wayne schlatter stories from "chicken soup of the soul". fortunately, now we have a collection of john wayne schlatter stories in "i am a teacher". so powerful and magnificent, i bought many copies in order to leave them in hotels where we have stayed. it is my sincere wish that someone else along the way will be as deeply touched as we have been with his life's work. thank you, mr. schlatter, and GLY.
A gem of a book! January 27, 2005

An inspirational book perfect for new teachers just beginning their teaching career to teachers who have years of experience. It is an ideal gift for anyone in your life you want to say 'thank you' to, or just let them know how special they are to you. Highly recommended.
Schlatter, With Wit and Joy, Gives Hope in I Am A Teacher January 25, 2005

Fans of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series already know John Wayne Schlatter for his many, soothing and heart-opening stories, the most famous of which was, I Am A Teacher. Do a Google search on "John Wayne Schlatter", and you will get over 250 hits about the many stories he has contributed to the series. Well, now you get 188 pages of the same wit, truth, soul-searching and revelations about the valued profession of teaching, and its importance to the future of us all.
Needless to say, I believe the author skillfully proved his point to me, the reader, by using strengths, battles and victories of his family to testify to the baseline, or foundation, and truth of the theme of his book. He then takes his needle and thread, and quilts his professional experiences, and literary/poetic reactions to those experiences, into the many, varied fabrics of former students, mentors and friends, to once again, give the reader reason to believe that what he is writing about is true. He gently, but firmly, as if a doctor delivering a baby, opens the reader's heart to the fact that, "I too am a teacher! I may not be in the profession of teaching, but by God, I am a teacher!" This is a must read. You will want to read it in one sitting if you are able, because you will find yourself on a train headed to the truth, and stopping may cause you to lose momentum. The book will also make an excellent gift for your children's teachers, your teachers, even your former teachers. Anyone who has made a difference in your life would be gratified by a gift of I Am A Teacher. Enjoy!
Magic for the Heart January 22, 2005

What David Copperfield does with illusion, Schlatter has done with this collection of stories. True Magic! I started reading this book and didn't set it down until I'd finished the whole thing. What a delightful and heart warming book of stories and essays. It is like Chicken Soup for not just the Soul, but also the Heart, Mind, Body and Spirit. Whether it was the tributes like I AM A TEACHER, the motivating stories like THE FINEST STEEL GETS SENT THROUGH THE HOTTEST FURNACE, the common sense thinking of DECLARATION OF RIGHTS FOR TEENAGERS, the clever insites of CHILDREN, ADULTS, & MONOPOLY or the humor of HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY MAKE YOURSELF MISERABLE, I was captivated throughout.
