Book Reviews of Teach Like Your Hair's on Fire: The Methods and Madness Inside Room 56
Book Review: Great book for every aspiring teacher, but...
Summary: 5 Stars
I found a big mistake on page 70. Mr Rafe says "0 divided by any number is 0" which is completely false since if I am allowed to divide 0 by any number, let me divide 0 by 0. Then I have a little problem, don't I. Otherwise, great book.
