"Never Too Old To Teach is simultaneously heartwarming and humorous, respectful of his students and his profession, and richly complex and thought-provoking. Through his short stories, he expertly conveys the numerous dilemmas that good teachers manage, the challenges with which educators are confronted in today's world, and the glorious successes that occur often enough for each teacher to persevere."

"Neil Goldman offers fellow practitioners--in the spirit of the birthday buffet gloriously arranged in the teacher's lounge--a candid and painfully humorous insight into the world of teaching at-risk students. While many of us have often wished that we memorialized all of these fantastically teachable moments, Goldman has successfully captured them with exceptional wit tempered with dignity for his students."

"Goldman's use of real-life examples, personal reflections, and a willingness to expose the self doubt that we all have makes Never Too Old to Teach a book that reaches across occupational boundaries. You don't have to be a teacher to enjoy his writing. I often found myself recalling similar incidents in my own school many years ago, and now I have a new take on some fine old memories. His conversational style and relaxed easy-going manner make this an easy and enjoyable read. Highly recommended."

"Never too Old to Teach" gives an insight into the classrooms of America. I am currently working in the accounting field but was interested in other professions. I bought this book and could not put it down. The writing is clear, humorous and one does not have to be a teacher to enjoy. The stories of Mr. Goldman and his students provide the backbone of the book and are memorable and sometimes, laugh out loud funny. I would recommend this to any teacher and parent."

"I just finished this book last week and I really enjoyed it. The anecdotes are sometimes laugh-out-loud funny and sometimes really make you think of the state of education in this country. The author isn't afraid to tackle controversial realities of the classroom and share how he handled various difficult situations. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is considering becoming a teacher, wants to know more about the education system or just wants to enjoy a humorous and enlightening read."

"I work in a high school, and I thought that Goldman's book is highly realistic. You don't need to be a teacher to enjoy the many stories about what it's like to really work with high school students with disabilities. He also captures what it's like to teach in a middle age, and does it with a lot of humor. My favorite chapter is Chocolate Brownies."
