College Review
I am a college student majoring in education. I read Holler if you Hear Me and did a group presentation on it. I found the book to be very helpful in understanding different teaching procedures. I also loved the way it stressed teacher/student involvement, which I am a huge believer in. It focused on how teachers should become involved with their students outside of class, as well as inside the class. The stories in the book were based on a very gang prominent area in the South Side area of Chicago. If a teacher is dealing with these types of situations in his/her classroom, they should definately read this book. I really enjoyed the experiences that Mr. Michie shared.

A Must Read
I am a Macon State College Student majoring in education. I chose to read "holler if you hear me" for my education class. I am so glad that I read this book. I think Gregory Michie did an excellent job writing this book. I have seen fiction movies about inner city schools but I have never read a book about true stories in these types of schools. These children were involved in gangs, drugs, and very harsh environments. This book definitely made me stop and think about the realities of the teaching atmosphere in urban cities. I applaud Gregory Michie for the courage and will power he had for all of his students. I think this book is helpful because upcoming teachers can learn from his mistakes. The book is easy to read and understand. I would definitely recommend "holler if you hear me" to future teachers.

FINALLY! A book that speaks to real issues facing kids!
I stumbled upon Gregory Michie's book and I am glad I did. As I former high school teacher, I have been frustrated with alot of the books being written on teachers that 'save' all of their students. These books, although somewhat entertaining, are not realistic and do not speak to the thousands of educators that go into the classroom everyday trying to make a difference. Michie's book does bring voice to these teachers and more importantly, brings voice to his students. If we all took Michie's approach and listened to our kids, valued their opinions and trusted them to make their own choices, we would be better off. I recommend this book not only for teachers but for anyone concerned about public education, children and our society. There are some powerful stories in Holler If You Hear Me of kids trying to do the right thing in a system that does not recognize them. Michie's book should be required reading for anyone who teaches in the schools and especially for anyone that is thinking about going into public education. I wish I had a book like this to read when I was in school preparing to teach. Kudos to Michie....I hear you!

Just Goes to Show Ya . . .
that you should always listen to your gut instincts. I happened to see Sandra Gregory being interviewed while on holiday in Wales and was impressed enough to run out and buy this book. I read it on the plane on my way home and totally related to her feelings and fears. I highly recommend this to all single girls who travel alone.
