Publisher's summary

From an elementary school principal and popular YouTube personality, inspiration and humor for educators to tackle the challenges they face day in and day out

Gerry Brooks is an elementary school principal turned YouTube celebrity who entertains K-12 teachers, administrators, and parents across the country. He tells jokes with the kind of mocking humor that gets a laugh yet can be safely shared in school. After all, even great schools have bad days - when lesson plans fall through, disgruntled parents complain, kids throw temper tantrums because they have to use the same spoon for their applesauce and mashed potatoes, and, of course, dealing with...The Horror! The Horror!...dreaded assessments. 

Ranging from practical topics like social media use in the class­room and parent-teacher conferences to more lighthearted sections such as "Pickup and Dropoff: An Exercise in Humanity" and "School Supplies: Yes, We Really Need All That Stuff", Go See the Principal offers comic relief, inspiration, and advice to those who need it the most.

For educators not anyone else

As a parent I didn't enjoy this book and found it slightly condescending. Which was im sure not the goal of the book but I really feel that this book is for educators only and not for anyone outside the field.

Overall a good book

The author has a good sense of humor and give his own tales of time in his School system. I enjoy Mr brooks humorous stories throughout the book, I would suggest this novel to starting out teachers as it gives a humors view on what to expect.
