Interesting that you state "I'm not known for having great classroom management skills." and "I don't write my lesson objectives on the board."

I made similar statements in my book "Out on Good Behavior".

To wit:

"I freely admitted that classroom management is not my strong suit."

"I tend to stay away from things like posting “Today’s Objective” because most students ignore them—as do I."

I'm wondering if this is just coincidence, or that these are take-aways that you obtained from my book. To refresh you memory, you gave my book a 2 star rating on Goodreads and didn't leave a review as to what you found objectionable. Given that my two statements might resonate with you, I'd be curious as to what you found so disagreeable or poorly written in the book that warranted you taking the time to partially communicate to the world your dislike of it.
