As a teacher, this sweet and realistic book made me feel heard (which is rare).

kspenmoll I had to return this to the library before I finished because it is a “new book” but I hope to take it put again soon. Glad you liked it. 3mo

Humorous and meaningful, this behind the scenes look into the faculty of a high school is an absolute gem. It‘s a character study of various teachers and other faculty members, the struggles they face, and the reasons they return everyday (or not) to work. The constant thread of Mr. Lehrer‘s life and legacy was really exquisite. I loved it! 5 glowing stars!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The editing 🫠. It‘s this “into the crowed” and a consistent use of “Ms.” in reference to a male teacher that is indeed a “Mr.” in the book. This is a finished copy and is $28.99. The publisher is part of Penguin Random House, so money to pay an editor shouldn‘t be a problem. My English teacher eyes can‘t handle it 😵‍💫

ChaoticMissAdventures My understanding is that big puns are making the author pay for the proofreading - they expected any advance to be used for that instead of you know rent and food. Which is why bigger authors can afford it and have it down while smaller authors don't. 3mo
Erinreadsthebooks @ChaoticMissAdventures That‘s awfully unfair. Maybe the authors could crowdsource. I‘d edit a chapter or five for an arc. 3mo

Twenty pages in, and I can definitely tell Mathieu was/is a teacher. All my fellow teacher Littens, this one‘s for you! ✊🙌 The quote that made me realize that she really gets it is in the comments. 🤓

Erinreadsthebooks “She bemoaned the way public education had become corrupted, seemingly never able to escape an ever-growing obsession with metrics, data points, objectives, strands, formative assessments, standards-based learning, and the weeping lesion that was high-stakes, state mandated testing.” 4mo
