You'll also nod along as she tackles more serious topics like race and education, the death of a student and teaching with empathy. <p/>Required reading for every passionate, dedicated educator who's felt like banging their head against the blackboard, <i>Schooled</i> shouts: "I see you, fellow teacher...and you're not alone."</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Jankowski has a great way of showing what it's really like to be a teacher.
