Difficult subject, easy reading.
This book is a breath of fresh air for all teachers in today's society. Dealing with behavioural problems can take up a huge and valuable portion of any class. This book has helped me gain confidence and a better understanding of disruptive pupils. It's accessible, intelligent, practical and fun without being pretentious or patronising. I could have benefited from this book at the start of my career. If you don't believe me you can come and see me after class.

There's also some hilarious illustrations.
