How many children think they hate school? Do they really hate school, or is there something else causing these feelings. Nikolas and a group of his classmates learn the meaning of self-confidence in Magic Eraser and the Substitute Teacher. When a substitute teacher replaces their teacher for six weeks, many changes take place that show the children how to love themselves. In the Magic Eraser and the Substitute Teacher, Deborah makes a clever attempt to teach children the importance of finding value within themselves, no matter what their life situation maybe.
