Teaching with Love and Logic: Taking Control of the Classroom by Jim Fay

hopeful informative reflective slow-paced

3.5

The overall themes in the book are pretty effective. I enjoy that this is a classroom management plan created to create less work on the teacher end, not more. Love and Logic focuses on teaching with empathy, not anger and allowing students to learn from mistakes and be intrinsically motivated.

I do however think this book is incredibly repetitive and could be organized way better. You could get the same points across effectively in half the page count. Also had to deduct a half a star because one of the authors admitted to hitting a special needs student 🤨. Also most of the "real life" anecdotes seemed very made up.

Long story short good theory bad execution.
