I am a 14 yr teacher and have taught from 6th grade through doctoral students (not in education). He gives many “to do’s” without considering the cost to the teacher. He tells teachers that if you don’t have students’ names on desks with something to do when students enter the room, you have lost the students for the YEAR and that you are an ineffective teacher. Never mind that a teacher may have 200 students and doesn’t get their class list until the morning of the first day of school. He frequently implies that if one doesn’t teach with his methods, one is an ineffective teacher. Fred Jones needs to be taken with a grain of salt. With Harry Wong you will need a block of salt.

I agree with the other reviewers who wondered what all of the hype over this book is about. I thought that I had to have this book because other people have said that it is a great book for first year teachers. I was mistaken. It came with a DVD, which I thought would be great. The DVD was a recording of a conference that a secondary teacher gave about the First Days of School. My DVD started skipping about half way through, and then completely stopped working. I’m not too concerned about it because I don’t think I’m missing much from not viewing the whole DVD. I didn’t really learn anything new from this DVD or book that I didn’t learn from basic Classroom Management coursework in school. I really enjoyed The First Year Teacher’s Survival Guide and Working with Students.

The book features rule after rule that a teacher is supposed to follow during the first days of teaching. I don’t see how a veteran teacher could remember half of these rules, and as a beginning teacher, I am overwhelmed by the immense rules that are listed in each chapter. There has to be a better way to be an effective teacher.
