Many of the things he mentions my wife can confirm. She has taught under poor administrators who have evaluated her teaching even though they have NEVER taught in front of students themselves. Giving her ludicrous ideas they expect her to conform too.

Any teacher will attest to the fact that what you learn about teaching from a book is a lot different than the actual task.
