Why read this book by an author that speaks from a place of bitterness. His work is redundant. I would never purchase another book by this man. It is difficult to suggest others read a book when I have heard the message from the man himself. He speaks with bitterness and demeaning tones. He proclaims emphatically..."There is no such thing as a learning disability." He declared that 9 out of 10 K-1 teachers are terrible. The presentation was one offensive comment after another. I left his presentation saddened and disappointed. I thought the man behind the words in his books was so much more. Every book I had purchased by this man went in the trash and I will never purchase another book by him. I have to say that the fact that Cunningham publishes with him makes me think I will never purchase anything by her again either. Where is integrity and respect for colleagues in the profession?
