Four Stars Zofia Thanks. Amazon Customer said Five Stars. Great book.. Dangerous Minds Is A Great Book -*Jaclyn*- Dangerous Minds by LouAnne Johnson is a great book! It keeps your attention and makes you want to keep reading. This story is about a teacher who was an ex-marine that is going to teach at a local high school. The students are troubled and don't want to learn. Ms. Johnson is a new teacher who came to their high school; she didn't know their problems and didn't even know that they were in special classes. There was never a teacher who wanted to teach these students. Ms. Johnson tries so many things to get their attention. She teaches them things that they never knew
When others gave up on them, she broke the rules to give them the best things a teacher can give-hope and belief in themselves. They're dangerous."But LouAnne Johnson had a different idea. Where the school system saw thirty-four unreachable kids, she saw young men and women with intelligence and dreams. When statistics showed the chances were they'd never graduate, she fought to beat the odds.This is her remarkable story-and theirs. If you loved Stand and Deliver, you'll stand up and cheer for LouAnne Johnson and Dangerous Minds.. She bullied, bluffed, and bribed her students into caring about school.And if that didn't work, the pretty, petite ex-marine told them she'd been trained to kill with her bare hands.They were called the class from Hell-thirty-four inner city sophomores she inherited from a teacher who'd been "pushed over the edge." She was told "those kids have tasted blood
