  4. Dear Michael,

    I bought your books this summer and read them cover to cover twice. I started my 18th year of teaching in September and feel that your behaviour management plan has saved me from burning out. I enjoy teaching, but needed support at a critical time in my career. Thank you for helping teachers deal with the complexity of our jobs in concrete and practical ways. I am starting my Christmas vacation feeling refreshed and ready to enjoy my family instead of exhausted and frustrated. I will be the first in line to purchase your new book. Please keep writing!

  5. Dear Michael,
    I believe you can do videos as well this coming year and perharps some pictures of the written articles at least a theme picture. I must say other graphics used in the year was amazing as well. Enjoy this thanksgiving and make sure you enjoy your family too. I will encourage those who do not comment on the articles to do. We learn from each other.
