Now, as a teacher, he faces new challenges. Conference calls have been replaced with parent conferences. Product testing has given way to standardized testing. Instead of business cards, Jack now passes out report cards. The only thing that hasn't changed noticeably is the maturity level of the people surrounding him all day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLearn Me Good is Jack's hilarious retelling of his harrowing rookie year, written as a series of emails to Fred Bommerson, his former engineering coworker. Inspired by real-life experiences of rambunctious and precocious children, lesson plans gone awry, and incredibly outrageous quotes, this laugh a minute page turner will give you a new appreciation for educators. Jack holds a March Mathness tournament, he faces a child's urgent declaration of \"My bowels be runnin'!\", and he mistakenly asks one girl's mother if she is her brother. With subject lines such as \"Irritable Vowel Syndrome,\" \"In math class, no one can hear you scream,\" and \"I love the smell of Lysol in the morning,\" Jack fills each email with sarcastic (yet loving) humor, insightful observations, and plenty of irreverent wit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you've ever taught, you will undoubtedly recognize aspects of your own students in Jack's classroom. If you've never set foot in a classroom, you will still appreciate the funny quirks, behaviors, and quotes from the kids and adults alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I teach, therefore I am... poor!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Pearson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 145364668X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781453646687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.48d","brand":"John Pearson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992021074175,"sku":"9781453646687","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d19ba9f2-35be-4802-8110-bcbecf8b1a2f.jpg?v=1683313589","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/learn-me-good-john-pearson-9781453646687","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
