Biography & Autobiography. Education. Nonfiction. HTML:At once "a pop culture phenomenon" (Publishers Weekly) and "screamingly funny" (Booklist), Educating Esmé  "should be read by anyone who's interested in the future of public education" (Boston Phoenix Literary Section).
A must-read for parents, new teachers, and classroom veterans, Educating Esmé is the exuberant diary of Esmé Raji Codell’s first year teaching in a Chicago public school. Fresh-mouthed and free-spirited, the irrepressible Madame Esmé—as she prefers to be called—does the cha-cha during multiplication tables, roller-skates down the hallways, and puts on rousing performances with at-risk students in the library. Her diary opens a window into a real-life classroom from a teacher’s perspective. While battling bureaucrats, gang members, abusive parents, and her own insecurities, this gifted young woman reveals what it takes to be an exceptional teacher. 
Heroine to thousands of parents and educators, Esmé now shares more of her ingenious and yet down-to-earth approaches to the classroom in a supplementary guide to help new teachers hit the ground running. As relevant and iconoclastic as when it was first published, Educating Esmé is a classic, as is Madame Esmé herself.

This book was definitely entertaining, but I wonder about how much of it was factual. It claims to be the diary of a first-year teacher, but it seemed very idealistic and unrealistic.

And it didn't sit right with me that there was a time when her students stabbed a substitute teacher in the back with a pencil and she wasn't really bothered about it. That's kind of a big deal...

I did love the idea of building a "time machine" filled with books. I might have to use that someday. ( )

This short diary is a wonderful read for all educators. How many times have we been faced with similar situations, unsure of how to move forward? This book is the validation I think we all could use from time to time--we do important work, even on the days that it seems as though nothing is worth it.

From the perspective of a first year teacher in an inner city Chicago school, comes Educating Esme. It is the real story of her experience teaching a class of 5th graders who are struggling with many things and don't have a lot of school supplies, but come to class with open hearts. This book is very eye-opening and a must read for teachers and non-teachers alike. I would recommend this book to any future teacher thinking about teaching in an inner city school. ( )

interesting. it's cool that she grew up in uptown and i liked her creative techniques. i find it interesting that so many teachers later homeschool their own kids... ( )

I wanted to like this book, but certain parts just rubbed me the wrong way. Such as when the mother was punching her son, Esme's student, in school, and she thinks something along the lines of, "Well I could report this to DCFS but that would bring about whole other problems." Really? Yeah, that's why I'm a 22 year old dropout, in therapy, diagnosed with PTSD. Teachers liked to look the other way when I was in school. Please teachers, report! It might cause "problems," but it might save someone. I did like much of her teaching style, but it doesn't save the book for me. ( )
