Story4.5 out of 5 stars 39
In a book that’s both accessible and enlightening, Rebecca Friedrichs recounts her 30-year odyssey as an elementary school teacher who comes face to face with the forces dividing and corrupting our schools and culture - state and national teachers’ unions. An exciting true story that features real-life testimonies of teachers, parents, and kids as well as political and social commentary, Rebecca’s journey leads her to the realization that the only hope for America’s schools and families is returning authority to parents and teachers while lessening the grip of state and national unions.

Every Parent and Teacher Should Read this Book

Stop it

As a psych NP who has treated thousands of ADHD kids I find your characterization of treatment highly biased and ill informed. Your self righteous tone does not add credence to your stance. There is a PROFOUND downside to NOT treating truly and accurate diagnosed ADHD. Perhaps your child was simply responding to the stress of a chaotic home life. In my practice, true ADHD kids THRIVE and flourish academically once placed on the right medication. So I take great umbrage with your characterization assuming schools and prescribers simply want to ‘medicate’ squiggly boys into compliance. The FACT is children who can’t pay attention and are unmedicated are MORE likely to: engage in risky behavior (girls more likely to become pregnant), more likely to be involved in car accidents and more likely to engage in substance use in the presence of a parent who refuses to acknowledge there is a PROBLEM. I am a CAUTIOUS prescriber. So when I hear a woman with NO clinical background OR expertise openly giving parents biased advice… imma call you out. Stay in your lane Rebecca. Stick to what you have expertise in. And leave the rest to .., well… experts… btw. Maybe amend your book to include more strategy vs ‘stories’. I don’t care to listen to 100 stories. I want to know how to defeat teachers unions and BOEs. What you have presented thus far is not helpful. But rather self indulgent.

Since early 2020, the world has experienced a series of catastrophic events - a global pandemic caused by a so-called novel coronavirus; international lockdowns and border closings causing widespread business closures, economic collapse, and massive unemployment; and an unprecedented curtailment of civil liberties and freedoms in the name of keeping people safe by locking them up in their homes.

Disappointed

I thought I would receive scientific info to refute Covid and it’s restrictions in detail. It provided a little bit of that in the beginning. However, then it became an endless infomercial for natural health products like so many of these books/talks/presentations. Which is fine. But NOT what I bought the book for. I can get the same advice for FREE (and have) sources of information. Really disappointed. Had to shut it off mid way for above reasons. It started to grate on me.

Are you tired of feeling f*cked up? If you are, Gary John Bishop has the answer. In this straightforward handbook, he gives you the tools and advice you need to demolish the slag weighing you down and become the truly unf--ked version of yourself. "Wake up to the miracle you are," he directs. "Here's what you've forgotten: You're a f--king miracle of being." It isn't other people that are standing in your way; it isn't even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive. It's yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself.

Such basic messages for anyone who is self-aware. Like a Dr Seuss book. Regurgitates basic cognitive behavioral self-talk.
