DESCRIPTION:
ambiguous book I shouldn't be too harsh on this book - it's a memoir, which means it's not required to be accurate and is intended to be more an author's reflection upon a period in her life. However, I bought this book because I am a novice teacher and the blurb said something about her learning some classroom management tips. It also said this was a funny book.

Subs are 10 percent as effective as regular classroom teachers, yet they lead a year's worth of a student's K-12 education. Teacher absenteeism is unacceptable. "In damning detail and side-splitting humor, Carolyn Bucior brings observations from her own weekly adventures as a substitute teacher in suburban public schools to bear on important questions of policy and ethics in U.S. The U.S. Solutions can begin immediately and at low-cost. She talks to national experts in teacher absenteeism and substitute teaching in order to make sense of her experiences in various K-12 classrooms, from first-grade PE to high-school chemistry.
