Comment on Misery Memoirs and Teachers, by Benita Strnad, Curriculum Materials Librarian by hvissche

I read these books a couple of years ago. Teacher memoirs / biographies do appeal to me. I found them interesting, but Teacher Man was hard to take. I think he turned out to be an uncaring father, like his own, even though he had empathy for his students.

What a great list, Helga. I loved the Tripod/White Mountain series as a kid, and my daughters are going to really enjoy reading many of the other series mentioned here, most of which I was unaware of.

Hello and thank you to everyone in the McLure Library who helped make this blog a reality. Your efforts speak to our collective commitment to pursue and employ the latest technology to enrich our scholarship and teaching, and you are to be commended. I am hopeful it will be a nice resource for students and faculty alike, and I will make sure to mention it in my classes.

Regarding Greg Mortenson’s books (described above), I agree they are well-written and offer poignant views of Afghani education, related challenges, and the author’s experiences as he worked to establish schools for girls in a region rocked by war and civil unrest. I highly recommend both books!
