Summary:

Almost every teacher has experienced at least one of "those kids"-the kids who won't sit still, won't do their work, don't attend, won't conform to the classroom expectations, and are outright defiant and disrespectful. These so-called bad kids and their stories actually have a great deal to teach us. This book centers around these stories and the lessons learned from them. Whether in education or in your everyday relationships with others, the lessons these kids teach will touch your heart and make a difference in your life. Picking up before the award-winning documentary The Bad Kids began, Lessons from the Bad Kids will teach us not only to improve our educational system but also how to become better people.
