This book is about disobedience. Positive disobedience. Disobedience as a kind of professional behaviour. It shows how teachers can survive and even influence an education system that does staggering damage to potential. More importantly it is an arm around the shoulder of disobedient teachers who transform people’s lives, not by climbing promotion ladders but by operating at the grassroots. Disobedient Teaching tells stories from the chalk face. Some are funny and some are heartbreaking, but they all happen in New Zealand schools. This book says you can reform things in a system that has become obsessed with assessment and tick-box reporting. It shows how the essence of what makes a great teacher is the ability to change educational practices that have been shaped by anxiety, ritual and convention. Disobedient Teaching argues the transformative power of teachers who think and act.

Great variety for a good price!

We have a grand puppy that is full of energy, and loves her toys! The squeakier the better! We ordered these, and we enjoy introducing a new toy each time they come over. Good quality, strong squeakers, and a happy puppy!

Funny toys
Size: Critter Zoo, Color: 5 Different Animals
Fun toy for our 90 pound doodle, but don’t expect them to last forever. Goofy eyes and features make it a fun toy. If a big dog sits down with it, they will be able to pull it apart. The bird lasted about 5 days with solid supervision. Let’s be honest, no toy is indestructible. The price and number of funny creatures makes this a good buy in my opinion.

No. Just no.

From the Amazon listing, Nocciola promises “Durability Guaranteed” and “Expert Craftsmanship,” boasting multi‑layer composite fabric, chew‑resistant construction, and meticulous stitching.
Yeah… about that.
Within the first ten minutes, the giraffe’s squeaker gave up the ghost. By the thirty‑minute mark, one of our puppies had already liberated one of its appendages and was preparing to eat it. When I took the giraffe away, he immediately redirected his enthusiasm toward the mallard and removed a wing.
Our other puppy went straight for the Red‑Headed Chicken’s throat. She succeeded. She was also making impressive progress on opening the back of its neck.
At that point, all three toys had to be confiscated, and the remaining two are still sitting in the box untouched because I value my dogs’ digestive tracts.
To be fair, the toys sound fantastic—literally. My puppies adored the squeaks, honks, and crinkles. They had a blast tossing them around and sprinting through the house. But the moment they settled down for a chew session, it was game over.
I’m genuinely disappointed that these toys require constant supervision to prevent accidental ingestion, and that my dogs can’t safely enjoy them the way they’re meant to.
If your dogs chew even a little, these toys are not worth the investment.
