31 Dan Brown Laurie Wasserman-reviewer 2007 978-1-55970-885-2 <p>Dan Brown, a first-year 4th grade teacher in The Bronx&rsquo;s Public School 85, has written an honest, heart-wrenching, sometimes humorous account of his experiences in the classroom. He takes us through a year-long journey as he shares his excitement at following in the footsteps of his mom, a former teacher. He shares an insider&rsquo;s view of&nbsp; the lives of his young charges, who live in &ldquo;the very bottom of the economic barrel in America.&rdquo; Brown, says reviewer Laurie Wasserman, honestly portrays both his own shortcomings and the lack of meaningful support from administrators.</p> http://www.arcadepub.com/book/?GCOI=55970100235510
