Summary

Offering a window to the public and private world of the classroom, Harvard Medical School psychologist Richard Bromfield reveals the feelings and motives, fears and joys, the short-sightedness and grand vision, that both children and their teachers bring to school. Touching and insightful, this thoughtful book explores the complex, and sometimes confusing ways, in which the hearts, minds, and psyches of children and teachers (and even parents) mesh, clash, and do everything in between.

Author Biography
