Reviews
"A well-crafted account about the search for greater flexibility when confronting life's inevitable challenges." -- Kirkus Reviews "In this memoir, Barbara Kennard so expertly captures the array of experiences that teachers encounter--the high and the low, the heartwarming and the hilarious. During her year teaching in Oxford, she comes to learn a new way of approaching both her classroom and her life that makes for an incredibly engaging read. Teachers everywhere will love this book." --Nadine Kenney Johnstone, writing coach and award-winning author of Of This Much I'm Sure: A Memoir "For any who struggle to distinguish between perfectionism and a yearning to grow into the fullest version of who God has created us to be, this book is a balm. Barbara Kennard writes candidly and compassionately about the people and places that taught her about self-acceptance and mercy. Her love of great writers and her appreciation for those she teaches and those who teach her shine through in vivid prose and engaging stories. Kennard is a lifelong educator. With humor, honesty, and self-awareness, this book invites readers to learn lessons alongside her about forgiveness, surrender, grace, and love." --Dr. Jennifer Howe Peace, coeditor of My Neighbor's Faith: Stories of Interreligious Encounter, Growth, and Transformation and Interreligious/Interfaith Studies: Defining a New Field "The story of Barbara Kennard's quest should inspire anyone who feels a calling to seek patiently for the best way to answer it and put it into play. This wise memoir should also remind us that although perfection can never be attained, we stand to have a lot of fun in the pursuit." --David Smith, author of Be a Teacher: A Memoir in Ten Ideas "In this delightful memoir of her career as a middle school English teacher, Barbara Kennard tells the story of how an exchange year in an Oxford preparatory school changed her life forever. Witty, incisive, and wise by turns, Kennard's accessible style draws the reader in to experience the many challenges, joys, and surprises that confront her, not the least her fresh discovery of Anglican spiritual life." --The Rev'd Sarah Coakley, Norris-Hulse Professor of Divinity, emerita, University of Cambridge, and author of God, Sexuality and The Self, "A well-crafted account about the search for greater flexibility when confronting life's inevitable challenges." -- Kirkus Reviews " . . . engaging . . .

Ms. Kennard writes with a delicate modesty." --Diana Altman, author of We Never Told and Hollywood East "In this delightful memoir of her career as a middle school English teacher, Barbara Kennard tells the story of how an exchange year in an Oxford preparatory school changed her life forever.

Synopsis
When Barbara Kennard realized that her perfectionism was holding her back from being the teacher she'd always wanted to be, she thought about abandoning the professional together; instead, she took a risk and gave up everything she knew about teaching in the United States to teach at The Dragon School in Oxford, England, where-by the grace of God--she finally learned to deal with her own inner "dragons.", When Barbara Kennard realized that her perfectionism was holding her back from being the teacher she'd always wanted to be, she thought about abandoning the professional together; instead, she took a risk and gave up everything she knew about teaching in the United States to teach at The Dragon School in Oxford, England, where--by the grace of God--she finally learned to deal with her own inner "dragons.", As a young book lover with dyslexia, Barbara found the solution to her reading struggles in Miss Gluding, her first grade teacher, who showed compassion for her student's plight--and knew how to help her. From that time on, Barbara knew what she wanted to be: a teacher, just like Miss Gluding. Unfortunately, Barbara also had some bad teachers in the years that ensued--including her sixth grade teacher, an exacting woman who called attention to Barbara's learning disabilities in front of classmates. Still wanting to follow in Miss Gluding's footsteps in 1964, Barbara vowed she would be a better one than her sixth grade teacher; instead, however, she became very much like her, with unattainable expectations for her students and herself. After seventeen years in the teaching profession, she realized she had to either change her teaching style or change careers. By providence, right as she stood at this crossroads, she was offered the opportunity to teach overseas at The Dragon School in Oxford, England, for a year--an opportunity she jumped at. In the year that followed, Barbara would rely on her faith in God to give up a lot of what she knew about teaching and learn to do it differently--ways that wouldn't have room for her perfectionism. In short, she would have to begin again.

- r***k (92)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufAAA+++ Book arrived on time & undamaged. Could have been protected by a box but came came shipped in bubble shipping slip. Lucky I guess. As advertised used but in like new condition. Sells else where for around $100.00 locally. Price was worth the chance. Collection book for my wife & made her happy. Would buy again but hope for better packing for a hard cover book. Quick shipping
- m***m (14)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufShipped promptly and packed up securely. All books are in great condition. The box part of the box set looks like it may have come apart and was taped up on one of the upper corners. Not a big deal to me and the box still fits all the books securely, but the taping was not mentioned in the description. Would have been disappointing if I was looking for a box set that looked like it was in mint or near mint condition.
