Dragons in My Classroom
Author: Barbara Kennard
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 164742366X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
As a young book lover with dyslexia, Barbara found the solution to her reading struggles in Miss Gluding, her first grade teacher, who showed compassion for her student’s plight—and knew how to help her. From that time on, Barbara knew what she wanted to be: a teacher, just like Miss Gluding. Unfortunately, Barbara also had some bad teachers in the years that ensued—including her sixth grade teacher, an exacting woman who called attention to Barbara’s learning disabilities in front of classmates. Still wanting to follow in Miss Gluding’s footsteps in 1964, Barbara vowed she would be a better one than her sixth grade teacher; instead, however, she became very much like her, with unattainable expectations for her students and herself. After seventeen years in the teaching profession, she realized she had to either change her teaching style or change careers. By providence, right as she stood at this crossroads, she was offered the opportunity to teach overseas at The Dragon School in Oxford, England, for a year—an opportunity she jumped at. In the year that followed, Barbara would rely on her faith in God to give up a lot of what she knew about teaching and learn to do it differently—ways that wouldn’t have room for her perfectionism. In short, she would have to begin again.

Slaying My Dragons
Author: Maria Victoria Murua
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1514406187
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
From the time Georgie was a little boy, his life underwent powerful, life-altering changes that gave rise to his many fears; the sudden death of his beloved Grandpa Manny, his parent's divorce, his mother's and his little brother's illnesses, and especially the presence in his life of Damian and his bullies. He was only five when he lost his grandpa, but then God seemed to compensate him with his new baby brother, Tony; someone he could love and protect. That connection created in both boys a bond that surpassed anything else in their lives, and although 5 years apart in age, they grew up together almost as contemporaries, sharing everything in their lives and holding on to each other as their anchor in dealing with all the misfortunes life dealt them. Through it all, Georgie harbored and nurtured a lot of fears, the biggest of which were the bullies at school and how to protect Tony when he couldn't even protect himself. Skirting the bullies as he went, Georgie developed into a mature young teenager, a gifted student, and a talented dancer; pulling Tony along with him on all his new adventures and accomplishments; while at the same time dealing with the bullies as best he could. Then an unexpected ally arrives in the form of a bronze statue of St. George, given to him by his grandmother. With that statue comes hope, and faith and an awareness of all that he could be, along with a new and powerful friend. Like everything else in life, one cannot just avoid evil and danger. While it confronted just him, Georgie was able to evade it; but when it involved Tony, he had to face it head on. In doing so, he found that he didn't have to face it alone. His help came from the most unlikely sources; his dragons (his fears and a couple of real, fire-breathing dragons), St. George, and Tony himself. Two brother: together they played, together they dreamed, together they danced, and together they fought back.
