Gus's cool review

This is a charming story about a teacher learning from his students. Throughout his 27 year career, he goes from a young teacher, to an experienced educater. At one point he goes to an Ozzy Osborne concert with his students. The book is a good book to read if you have some time on your hands, and it can be read in one week, although it took me a little longer.

I Loved It!

I loved this book because it was real. It told both this teacher's great deeds and the mistakes. While I wasn't laughing out loud, I was chuckling inside. As an eighteen year veteran teacher I could relate to many of his stories.

A great book from a great teacher

I was a senior in high school before I had the privilege of being in Mr. Meuser's class (yes, I unfortunetely feel the compunction to continue with the mister part). In that year, however, I learned that this man, the author of Class Encounters, was an exceptional teacher. I'm not going to talk about Meuser's character and pretend that it is a substitute for a review of his book, but I will say that his caring, intelligence and humor all come through in his stories. He read these stories to us (who wouldn't rather hear a good story written by your own teacher than learn Calculus?) and managed to keep his audience of self-important and easily bored high school students begging for more. I myself left his classroom not only knowing math, but, from hearing his stories and obstacles and successes, also knowing that I wanted to impact the world and carry those messages he shared on. I am an education major now, and I look at those days as a start of the dream I am now fulfilling.

Class Encounters Review

Thoroughly, totally enjoyable! Mark Meuser's dry humor and wit make this book a must for any one who's taught or even just attended school. If Mark Twain would have taught school, this is what he would have written.
