I Wish My Teacher Knew by Kyle Schwartz

This book was marketed as "Parenting and Families" and being a new mom, I requested to read this to see what challenges my daughter may be faced with when she enters school. What would she want her teacher to know? My idea of what this book was about could not be more off base. While a few cards were shared (my favorite being "I wish my teacher knew that I love nachos") that was not the focus of this book. The focus of this book was on Kyle's research about how to be a better, more engaged teacher to those in less affluent areas.

While I am not a teacher, a lot of this I could not relate to, and I found myself skipping pages. Schwartz provides real world examples of the ideas she speaks about, which was about the most interesting part of the book. The saddest part for me was that I never found the area where they talked about the kid who loved nachos, yet that card was displayed with every chapter. Nacho-loving child - I feel you! You were the only part of the book I could relate to.

Parents? Maybe skip this one. Teachers? Give it a try. This one was just not for me.

I received this e-book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
