As usual, Torey Hayden has charming moments in her memoir of teaching troubled and learning disabled children. Somebody Else's Kids is a interesting look at the time when the pendulum swung from "All disabled kids are segregated, whether appropriate or not" to "All children are mainstreamed, whether appropriate or not."

That being said, this is the second of Torey's books that I read in quick succession, and I didn't find it as effective as some of her other works.
