Talk:Harry Wong

Article needs focus
The article is titled "Harry Wong", but spends the vast majority of its time detailing one book that he wrote. If this article is about his book, it needs a new title. If the article is about the author, it needs more biographical information about the author and only a short summary of any of his books. Dawynn (talk) 11:31, 2 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Dear Dawynn,
 * I just found out that Harry Wong, educator and author, passed away February 22, 2024. Perhaps we can improve the article about him and his work along with his titles. "The First Days of School," has been a very influential book for new and veteran teachers. Based in research, theory...and most of all practive.... this book has improved the teaching of many teachers and the learning of many more students.
 * Sincerely,
 * Bobby Oliver
