never too old to teach Jan 18, 2009
By Michael J. Elfand
"MJ ?Book Lover"
"Never too Old to Teach" gives an insight into the classrooms of America. I am currently working in the accounting field but was interested in other professions. I brought this book and could not put it down. The writing is clear, humorous and one does not have to be a teacher to enjoy. The stories of Mr. Goldman and his students provide the backbone of the book and are memorable and sometimes, laugh out loud funny. I would recommend this to any teacher and parent,
I'm not a teacher, and I loved it! Jun 02, 2009

I just finished this book last week and I really enjoyed it. The anecdotes are sometimes laugh-out-loud funny and sometimes really make you think of the state of education in this country. The author isn't afraid to tackle controversial realities of the classroom and share how he handled various difficult situations.
I'd recommend this book to anyone who is considering becoming a teacher, wants to know more about the education system or just wants to enjoy a humorous and enlightening read.
Wonderful and inspiring book! Feb 09, 2009

"J.Jones"
Mr. Goldman's book was an inspiring read. As a teacher myself, I was able to associate with his students and situations. If you are someone that is thinking of a career change, this book will certainly get you thinking about being a teacher! Mr. Goldman is a talented writer with a gift for story telling and seeing the silver lining in all things education! Way to go Mr. Goldman!
A real teachers book Jan 20, 2009
By L. Nicholson I work in a high school, and I thought that Goldmans book is highly realistic. You don't need to be a teacher to enjoy the many stories about what it's like to really work with high school students with disabilities. He also captures what it's like to teach in a middle age, and does it with a lot of humor. My favorite chapter is Chocolate Brownies.
An excellent blend of humor and reality Jan 19, 2009
By Edward M. Weber Goldman's use of real-life examples, personal reflections, and a willingness to expose the self doubt that we all have makes Never Too Old to Teach a book that reaches across occupational boundaries. You don't have to be a teacher to enjoy his writing. I often found myself recalling similar incidents in my own school many years ago, and now I have a new take on some fine old memories. His conversational style and relaxed easy-going manner make this an easy and enjoyable read. Highly recommended.
