Ron Berger...Why doesn't everyone just listen to him???

I have begun to read a book by the author Ron Berger.  It is titled, An Ethic of Excellence.  Reading this book was not a choice, it is for a class, but after reading the introduction and preface, I am glad that my professor chose this book for the class to read and use.  Ron Berger writes about his struggles as a teacher and also his achievements.  Not only does he write about himself, but he includes his students throughout the entire book.  I am working on becoming a teacher myself and who better to learn from than another teacher who already has had experience in the classroom? I am excited to find out more about Ron Berger and how I can help create a culture of ethics within my classroom someday.
