Teachers live a hard life. Every day is filled with conflict, overwhelming emotion, screaming arguments, and drama. Then they have to leave their homes and go to work, where it only gets worse. Levels of respect for teachers in the country have diminished in just a few years. The government sets them up to fail, the parents blame them for everything their kids do wrong, and the general public fails to acknowledge the public service they provide. But, fear not. Here is a book written for teachers that acknowledges all these struggles and more. From empathy for the first year teacher to the shared complaints about teenage angst and stretch pants, Nikki illustrates the funny side of teaching high school. She delves into characteristics of the general public, discusses common qualities of adolescents, outlines some problems with parents, and describes in detail the kind of teachers who sacrifice everything to help the wayward youth of today. After class, the teachers talk smack. And this is what some of them say.
