Teacher, Teacher!
Teacher, Teacher! | Jack Sheffield
19 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
It's 1977 and Jack Sheffield is appointed headmaster of a small village primary school in North Yorkshire. So begins Jack's eventful journey through the school year and his attempts to overcome the many problems that face him as a young and inexperienced headmaster. The many colourful chapters include Ruby the 20 stone caretaker with an acute spelling problem, a secretary who worships Margaret Thatcher, a villager who grows giant carrots, a barmaid/parent who requests sex lessons, and a five-year-old boy whose language is colourful in the extreme. And then there's also beautiful, bright Beth Henderson, who is irresistibly attractive to the young headmaster... Warm, funny and nostalgic, Teacher, Teacher is a delightful read that is guaranteed to make you feel better, whatever kind of day you've had.

@BookishMarginalia here‘s what I found! There‘s 2 creates, 5 explores, 1 light bulb, 3 earths, 1 heart, 2 apples, 2 welcomes, and 5 each of read, learn, write, and pencil. I can return whatever you don‘t need. They don‘t fit in a flat rate box, so I‘m thinking a big padded mailer with cardboard inside to prevent bending. Let me know!

BookishMarginalia Jackpot! Yes, I‘ll take it all — email me at profgmcustodio at yahoo.com with the amount and I can PayPal it to you along with the shipping fee, and send you my address too 🤓👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 5y
BookishMarginalia It arrived! My cup runneth over! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💜💜💜 5y

#24b4Monday @Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid only 2hrs and 28 minutes. I wanted to eat with my family for my colleagues voted me as Teacher of the Year today. If I had been asked, I would have graciously declined because I had been honored 15 years ago. But they announced it in front on the whole school and parents during a program. How do you say no in front of everyone who voted and your students so happy for you you? #teachersoflitsy

BeansPage That is so awesome! Congratulations!!! 🎉🎉🎉 5y

4. Being able to be paid to read all the time. Won't that be the life!

Do any other #teachersofLitsy find themselves unable to read YA because they spend all day around teenagers? 😂

Bourriquet76 My kid has a different name because I taught middle school while pregnant. 😂😂😂 6y
CoffeeK8 It depends... SFF YA is fine, but I can‘t always read contemporary... @Bourriquet76 I had the same problem 😂 6y

Sharing this gem unearthed by the staff in the Local History Division at my library. All the teachers out there...what would be the deal breaker for you? The two petticoats? Avoiding the ice cream shops? Scrubbing the floor? 😂😂😂😂😂

DreesReads Not leaving the city limits would do it for me. 7y
youngreadrshelf Avoiding the ice cream shops is my deal breaker. 7y
Maike "Loitering" the ice cream shops it is ??? 7y

lisakoby Define loitering...5 minutes after purchase of ice cream? 10 minutes? 7y
meganlynae I can't dye my hair? No way. 7y
The_Literary_Jedi Yeah @lisakoby , how long is a loiter? 🙂 Not being able to leave city limits without permission...nope! 2 petticoats? Nope! No dyed hair? Nope! I like how none of us find it too bad about marriage nor associating with men...🤔 I'm thinking this Chairman would be apoplectic if he saw my tattoos and piercings and knew I'm a teacher! (edited) 7y
asiriusreader Can't ride in a carriage or automobile with a man other than brother or father?? No ice cream shops?? The scrubbing the classroom daily is the killer...Don't think I would have been part of the #teachersofLitsy crew back in the day! 7y
MrsGreen Wow, the approval of the chairman of the chairman to travel?! That's pretty serious! 🤣 7y
