"Tom's work stands in for what so many teachers need: the teacher-friend whose room you can stomp into when you need empathy over your lack of coolness; the friend who will make you feel better about the mistakes you made, who will celebrate your crazy schemes, who will help you find your reasons why you need to come back when you want to quit."
- Shanna Peeples, 2015 National Teacher of the Year, Author of 'Thinking Like Socrates' |
