left off,
Teacher Tom’s Second Book
is an insightful, sometimes breathtakingly eye-opening look into the relationship between young children, learning, and the adults and institutions in their lives. Teacher Tom’s ability to find great truth in small moments, coupled with his passionate defense of the rights of children and his critique of common practice, comes together to reveal a loving, child-centered world, one in which children are free to learn and grow, unencumbered by the dogma and nonsense of our culture’s ever narrowing view of childhood.
