Review # 1 was written on 2012-07-29 00:00:00 George Heib I heard the Billy Collins poem "Schoolsville" from this collection at a recent training and bought the book. Varied selection of poems grouped by categories such as "Homeroom," "Recess," and "After School." Worthy reading to inspire teachers and some tasty poems for discussion with students and to serve as models for writing.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-05-13 00:00:00 Diane Delaney I was disappointed in this book. Being a teacher, I loved school. Most of the poems in this anthology were remembrances of very negative events from school.
