    About this ebook

    Carolyn Reardon loved being a full-time mom, but after enrolling her children in preschool, she wanted to do more and teaching seemed the perfect career.

    Carolyn enjoyed helping students, but she noticed a disturbing trend. Learning Curves is a humorous, scary, and semi-true tale about teaching, temptation and the sometimes disastrous results - both in and out of the classroom.
