Produktbeschreibung

Before David started working at schools as a behavior specialist, he was a student like everyone else.

This collection of five short essays are a memoir of his time in high school in the suburbs of New York City as well as some harsh memories of working in special education schools.

You will read about a strange, dictatorial ninth grade English teacher.

The next is a memory of a messy and unstructured film appreciation class.

There is a free flowing essay about the joys and tortures of school cafeterias.

Now we move to the time David was a teacher. The first is the longest essay in the book, which recounts his time in a school with extremely aggressive students and how that altered his perspective on students and teaching.

The second essay is a short retelling of how he became a bad teacher, The school administration treated staff poorly and what occurred was poor teaching and a bad attitude.

Throughout will be thoughts and examples of good and bad teaching. What do we learn when we are not expecting to learn anything?

A funny and sometimes harsh view of education, David presents five honest portrayals of schools and teaching.
