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.

Better than vienner sausage!

As a retired principal, I thought this book was fantastic. A lot of common sense reminders and a little bit of humor for teachers, principals, parents, cafeteria ladies, secretaries, and all schools staff. A great book for any educator, particularly a new educator or a clueless legislator!

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.
