Excellent resource.......2003-10-28

The authors of this book have provided excellent insights for educators, both at the administrative level and the classroom level, for dealing with parents. One of the key benefits to this text is that it provides clear and practical ideas as to how to prevent parents from being difficult to begin with.

Most educators are keenly aware of the critical nature that early communication plays in maintaining parental support for the school's role in their child's life. However, many, due to time constraints don't follow through and things wait until issues have become emotional. As a result, dealing with parents can be an unpleasant experience. Whitaker and Fiore show how with a calm nature, teachers and principals can defuse these situations. Some of the ideas require that the educator remain calm and not become emotional themselves, a difficult task to say the least, but not becoming emotional, as the authors point out, is one of the keys to being viewed as a professional.

In my opinion, no teacher education program should let their students get by without having read this book.

Practical.......2003-07-21

As a new principal, I wanted a book to give me more confidence in dealing with parent conflicts. This book teaches practical scenarios for commonly experienced parental conflicts that produce a win-win outcome. The scripted dialogues and tips in nerve-wracking situations are clear and adaptable.

Product Description

Why is it that effective action is so often difficult to take? How do you make it work when you do take it? Human nature tends to make action difficult or make it more likely to be delayed or be done half-heartedly (with subsequent negative impact on results). There are so many unpleasant issues to be faced, such as firing people or dealing with poor or unacceptable behaviour and performance; tackling sensitive issues such as bullying and discrimination; and handling awkward or embarrassing situations like networking or prospecting. Too often, managers and others find themselves in the discomfort zone with no chance of avoiding involvement and every wish to steer clear of the unpleasantness. This book faces these difficulties head-on and offers a wealth of excellent advice about reducing the discomfort, taking the right action and increasing the result. The key is to recognise the problem of inaction or avoidance, and to put yourself in the discomfort zone on a regular basis. This book focuses on: Tackling the new realities of the modern work environment Assessing key results areas Enhancing productivity through a straightforward action approach Achieving and maximising desired results

Customer Reviews:

Great resource!.......2007-05-29

I am a [...]teacher in a school where many of the students are ESL learners. I came across this book when I was looking for a way to help my students develop their reading fluency. Let me just say, my class has LOVED acting out these plays! I only wish I had discovered it earlier in the year so that I could have more time to work with this book. I would highly recommend it.

Easy to use........2006-07-01

The scripts were fun to do for a drama class of 9- 12 year olds.Some were a little preachy about the point of the story, but the the kids laughed a lot.

Fun remakes of classic tales.......2005-08-24

I actually got this book for my kids so that we could read them together at night. It turned out that this book is actually written for use in a classroom. (I didn't realize that it was by Scholastic when I bought it.) Fortunately I am just 2 classes away from being a teacher, so I can get some use out of it. This book would probably not be too useful for families--unless you are the Von Trapps and all the cousins are visiting.

Read, Write, AND Have Fun?!.......2004-07-09

I find Cinderella Outgrows the Glass Slipper a valuable resource for ideas for helping students read and write for a variety of purposes, one of which is for enjoyment! Teachers are always looking for practical and intriguing ways to teach writing and build students'motivation to write, so the creative ideas for addressing national language arts standards and teaching writing for a variety of purposes found in this book are treasures.
Students and adults appreciate the zany fairy tales J.M. Wolf includes in this book, and the many practical resource ideas for presenting fairy tale plays really do work. The fractured fairy tales hook students' interest, and the related writing activities and resources are useful supplements to the language arts curriculum.

Book Description

Long before Politically Correct Bedtime Stories invaded bookstores, Americans were getting their giggles from Fractured Fairy Tales, those delightfully twisted parables brought to us between the cliffhanger adventures of our favorite cartoon heroes, Rocky & Bullwinkle. This collection, illustrated with classic art from the animated series includes the comical retelling of 25 classics such as Pinocchio (who starred in his own variety show "The Pinocchio Doody Show"), Jack and the Beanstalk (did you know that Jack grew a beanstalk in the outfield so he could catch fly balls for his baseball team?), or King Midas (who became a dentist so he could give his patients gold fillings). This satirical humor loved for so long by so many, is a must-have for fans of the show and anyone who loves classic fairy tales--with a twist.

From the Hardcover edition.

Customer Reviews:

Um, Haha........2006-02-03

Fractured Fairy Tales, by A.J. Jacobs, is a slightly offbeat, occasionally funny book of fairy tale parodies. I rate it three out of five stars because the tales are parodied, which makes the writing style inconsistent. Though the changes to the tales make them funnier, after a while they seem repetitive. These are the main reasons I dislike this book.

Though as a collection of stories, I dislike this book, a few of the remade tales are absolutely hilarious, like The Seven Chickens, where a prince finds seven chickens and must tell which chicken is a princess. Unfortunately, when he finds the princess he is disguised as a woman, and, well...you better find the rest out yourself. Another hilarious story is called Prince Hyacinth and the Dear Little Princess, in which there is a prince born with a nose like a casaba melon. He will always have his weird nose until he says, "I have a nose like a casaba melon". Also making an appearance is a fairy godmother...with a New York accent? Funny stories like these, along with some funny changes to the some of the stories salvage my overall rating of the book.

Great Parodies of well known Fairy Tales.......2005-12-23

I thought I've read every kinds of fairy tales rewrites out there, but boy I was wrong! I can't bring myself to put this book down after I started reading it. Unlike any usual "polite writing" of the fairy tales, I do not recommend parents to let their young children read it until they are teenagers or so, cause this book focus more on the comedy rather than focusing on the moral aspect of the original book.

A few parody stories from this book would be, the frog prince, Hansel & Gretel, The Golden Goose & Aladdin's lamp.

Prefectly fractured.......2005-04-05

If you enjoyed the cartoons on Bullwinkle or if you just have a flare for the zaney, you'll like it!

The Fairy Tale is Over Success Was Not Achieved Here.......2003-08-26

Retelling fairy tales we all grew up with is a sensational idea which has been done extremely well. Just not here! In other books yes, but here unfortunately no. The stories in this book do have one thing in common with the original motive of fairy tales. They will put you to sleep. These are some of the most boring low quality stories ever written. Also avoid the books A Wolf at the Door and Snow White Blood Red edited by Ellen Datlow as they are no better than this.

If you do want really good retelling of classic tales rewritten in sensational format buy Once Upon A Crime or Politically Correct Fairy Tales. You will find what you're after in those books.

Not Nostalgia - Exactly.......2001-04-27

No, it's not Edward Everett Horton. This is a derivative work of the original Jay Ward Version. If you liked the old - you should like these. They are hysterical and relayed with the same wit as the ones from the Rocky & Bullwinkle TV show; however, they are not those stories!!

Product Description

Ugly princes, fibbing fairy godmothers, and knights who prefer clown suits to suits of armor--these clearly aren't your ordinary fairy tales. They are, in fact, Jay Ward's infamous Fractured Fairy Tales, originally introduced within Ward's brilliant Rocky & Bullwinkle Show in the 1960s. From princesses who take destiny into their own capable hands, to inept witches with broomstick envy, to beauties who happily discover their inner beasts, these tales contain surprisingly modern messages of female empowerment. Likely to thumb their noses at tradition and find their own versions of happily ever after, these quirky characters bring fresh and irreverent humor to sixteen twisted tales filled with silly, witty fun.
