"KIDS " is a compilation of true, classroom and personal anecdotes about second through fifth graders' wacky, humorous, outrageous, tragic, and poignant moments. The author taught second through fifth grade for over twenty years, and the stories were written as they happened. He has thoughtfully and carefully selected his best, and they are now being published. The last thirty pages are humorous stories of his own childhood, a few uplifting thoughts on teaching, and a critique of the public, elementary educational system in this country.
