“Behind
The Teacher’s Desk: The Rules Were Made For Everyone But Me” is hands down one
of the most riveting and well-crafted books I’ve read in a long time! I was
completely drawn in from the opening pages, and absolutely loved the author’s
use of description of the different characters and attention to detail on all
fronts. We feel transported not only into Claire’s life, but her amazing life
experiences inside and outside the classroom… and it was a wonderful and
eye-opening view into another lifestyle that many of us either don’t really
think about or just take for granted. There is SO much more to teaching than
just teaching! And Williams shows us many facets that we probably never
considered before. This book covers so, so much it’s impossible to sum up, but
it felt like I was living through a wonderful woman’s life, from her
professional, romantic and social experiences, and it was interesting to see
how it all tied together in the end, which I loved! An epic literary feat, and
very inspiring. I was really impressed and would recommend this book with the
highest of praise. (5 stars)
