People instinctively enjoy helping others in need. Teachers believe helping to be their calling in life. Educators not only have the opportunity but the responsibility to help mold today's youthful minds intellectually, preparing our young to be ready to meet the challenges of America's future. Becoming a teacher is easy. BEING a teacher is NOT! Abraham Dicker Stein, freshly back from the jungles of Vietnam, wanted to reach every 8th grade child he taught....to make a positive impact on America's future leaders. Live vicariously through the idealistic Abe and follow him through 27 years in the classroom and five more years as an early-retiree. Read how he 'survives' in a district that went from good to worse to scary. Experience funny moments, ugly moments, and moments that brought Abe to anger or tears. You want to be a successful teacher? You think you have what it takes to deal with tough-minded junior high kids? You'll have a good idea about YOUR instincts after you finish reading The Storyteller: How Hard Can Teaching 8th Graders Be?
