Interesting and entertaining stories

I enjoyed hearing the stories about the students, other teachers and parents from the teachers point of view. Things have changed so much since I was in school it was eye opening to hear about how students and parents threatened this teacher all the time. Teachers are under appreciated for sure. The author does a great job relating the stories and his observations in a fun and interesting way, it is a great book to listen on a road trip.

Cant Believe That Happened!

I thoroughly enjoyed listening about all the crazy stories of this secondary school teacher. A couple of them had my heart pumping and racing, hoping he was going to come out okay by the end. Also, it's fun hearing that UK accent having lived there for a couple of years myself.

I loved this book

As a recovering secondary school teacher myself, I can totally relate to the stories in this book. Sometimes, I was surprised while at others, I found it completely heartwarming and motivating. This is a great book for anyone who has kids or works with kids.

An unexpected view of the education system

Being an American, some of the terminology used was unfamiliar to me regarding the different educational tiers, particularly for what we call elementary, junior high (or middle school) and high school, These designations are not uniform throughout the USA, though, so I figured it out with a little help from Google. I had expected something more comedic but this is certainly very amusing as well as informative. Some things are the same, wherever kids are kids, but the methods for dealing with the challenges differ.

I think this teacher was very thoughtful, wise and compassionate to his students. That makes a good teacher in any country.
Well written and beautifully read. I recommend this book.

Amazing Choice

It was exciting to hear a teacher of secondary school students relate their experiences with students, parents, and colleagues. In addition, hearing a teacher of secondary school students recount their experiences was as fascinating as a real-life experience. In general, listening to the book was a one-of-a-kind experience, and every educator can identify with this sentiment to some extent.
In conclusion, I thought the whole thing to be quite uplifting and inspiring. This is an excellent book for anyone who is a parent or works with children. And I highly recommend it.
