"""Gabbie Stroud has written a poignant book that explores her personal story of the good, the bad, the inspirational and inexplicable in the life of a classroom teacher. She was incredibly capable, passionate and committed - and yet she was eventually defeated by the forces of curriculum change, the pressure of incessant accountability and the disempowerment and disrespect that has impacted the teaching profession. Her story is becoming sadly too common and Australian children are missing out on a better education."" - Maggie Dent, author of Saving our Children from Our Chaotic World"
