“I wish I had the advice from Classroom Confidential when I was a first year teacherMrs. Lucido wonderfully describes the realities of the teaching profession ranging from staff lounge conversations to eating in the classroom. These aspects weren’t taught in teacher preparation school yet must be discussed and understood before you step foot into your own classroom in order to be an effective, happy, and sane teacher! The transparency of the many facets of a teacher’s school life and identity, combined with advice on how to handle various situations, will help any teacher add to their “bag of tricks.“ While I am still amazed Mrs. Lucido survived 33 years teaching in public schools, I now understand the personality, outlook, and drive that kept her, and many others, happily in the teaching profession for so long.

Thank you, Mrs. Lucido, for impacting so many students’ lives and helping myself and so many others navigate this profession!”
