If you want to understand the power dynamics of kids, if you want
to know what teasing and bullying looks like in early elementary
school, then you must read They Don't Like Me. --Michael Thompson,
coauthor of Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys
"Jane Katch offers us a rare gift, the insider's view of her
remarkable classroom as she and her children struggle to understand
what is fair and just in the explosive arena of those who
intimidate and those who feel intimidated. . . In her vivid and
honest narrative of classroom life among the young, we are given a
reliable map of the moral dimensions of the teacher's art."--Vivian
