Review:

A delightful collection of short essays by more than 40 teachers describing their worst teaching experiences and what they learned from them. A number of the stories could be used with students to critically examine school life. A welcome contract to the "look how great I am" accounts in many books on teaching. -- Rethinking Schools, Summer 1996

Oops is a winner because its authors don't pretend that all mistakes can- or even should - be avoided. Like the rest of us, its authors are smart without being perfect. -- NEA Today Voices, Summer 1996
