While reading this book, I was deeply impressed by the authors' philosophy on 'special education' and the profession of 'special education teacher'.
“I believe that special education teachers are professionals who have a firm philosophy and independence about special education, do not give up studying special education, and work steadily to help students achieve real ‘learning’ based on this,” the author said. I felt that there were many similarities with the special education that I think about and want to talk about, so I think that may be even more so.
- From the Naver blog [Growing Special Education Teacher] review

I felt purified by Professor Han Kyung-hwa's beautiful and clear writing. I was able to encounter her human charm in her writing.
And through Professor Byun Gwan-seok's somewhat professional writing, I developed a desire to study.
As he said, I think there is a clear difference between something being done and something being done knowingly.
Perhaps it was a time for me to reflect on myself as a special education teacher through the writings of authors who seem similar yet are clearly different.
This is a book that special education teachers must read at least once.

[Our growth rate is 10 km/h] From a review by author Seonghyeon So

This book mainly describes my reflections on myself as a special education teacher during my teaching career, and the moments I spent with fellow teachers, parents, and students.
That's why, as soon as I pick it up, the pages turn quickly.
It felt like I was having a cup of tea with fellow teachers who I felt connected to, and hearing them say things like, "This happened to me today," or "That's what I did back then."
The time we spent reading felt like a time of empathy, sharing, comforting, encouraging, and praising each other while listening to each other's stories.
- From the Naver blog [La vita e? bella] review

This book vividly portrays the realities of special education! As someone who dreams of becoming a special education teacher, this book has inspired me to become a teacher who values ​​the uniqueness of students with disabilities.
I recommend this book to anyone who is a special education teacher, aspiring to be one, or anyone curious about the field of special education.
- From a reader's book review on Instagram [People Wearing Sunglasses]

I want to read this book and convey the warmth in my heart.
I am a teacher working at a daycare center.
Sometimes we struggle to acknowledge the uniqueness of our children, but this book reminds us that we need to make an effort to cherish the uniqueness of each and every child.
I think I'll be able to finish today's day with the authors' valuable sharing.
I believe that if, while reading this book, you can gain a little understanding of life as a special education teacher through the happiness and laughter that come from small episodes, it will be a success.
- Among the comments left by readers on the Naver blog [Seok-i Teacher's Special Education Story] operated by the author

Special education without warmth would be like a steamed bun without red bean paste, but this book was full of warmth.
I particularly sympathized with the honest and complex feelings of a teacher who became the homeroom teacher of a student who everyone else found difficult to teach.
My heart was also touched by the honesty with which he calmly poured out his words, “I’m sorry, teacher.”
(Omitted) This book is filled with our precious but certain happiness and memories, and it is a book that allows us to glimpse into the ‘life of a special education teacher.’
A book for prospective teachers, administrators, parents, and youth to read together.
The phrase "the moment a teacher thinks, 'It won't work,' a student stops growing" makes me think a lot.
As someone with the same profession, I thought that perhaps through the author's writing, we could perhaps work together to unravel the issues that have been, are, and will continue to be on my mind.
I hope the authors' story doesn't stop here, and I'm so grateful that I had a wonderful time reading this book.
