Heart racing, stomach churning, panic sets in as Jan stares at the blank pages of the former teacher’s lesson plan book. Jan faces her very first class: 43 sixth graders who have already run off a parade of substitutes. Will she stand up to their pranks and gain control of these unruly adolescents? Can she capture her students’ attention and become the teacher they don’t yet know they need?
Inspired by actual student letters, Jan Wright’s heart-warming memoir fulfills a promise she made thirty years later to her last group of students.
Those who have never taught will gain new understanding and respect for this challenging profession. Experienced teachers will delight in memories of their own as they read Jan’s struggles and triumphs. New teachers will feel encouraged as they envision the journey ahead of them.

Paperback. Etat : Fair. Jan Wright's creative memoir compares the hopes and trials of a new teacher with the aspirations, challenges, and accomplishments of the seasoned teacher she becomes. A young California girl gets her first teaching job with a class of forty-three sixth graders, starting mid-year 1972 in a rural elementary school in the Florida panhandle, one year after mandatory busing for integration. The next school year, she starts over in an inner-city school in Virginia, continuing her search for how to be a better teacher. The story then jumps forward three decades to Crittenden Middle school in Silicon Valley in California to reveal the growth of her style, her maturing aspirations, and the challenges of teaching at the end of her journey as a classroom teacher in 2003. "What makes a great teacher?" Mrs. Wright asked her seventh graders on the last day of her classroom teaching career. Those students' letters inspired this unique memoir of a teacher's journey.
