Tales From School: You Can't Make This Sh*t Up (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781096336334)

Everyone has attended school, but few realize how much goes on behind the scenes in our local schools. After 33 years in education, author Chuck Schmidt has a treasure trove of stories to share in his book, Tales From School, and subtitled "You Can't Make This Sh*t Up." From his time as a teacher and award winning coach to superintendent of schools, and back to teacher, he tells about the victories, the disappointments and the humorous incidents that make a life in education a challenging and rewarding vocation. The totality of his experience provides a unique perspective. From his hilariously embarrassing failure in educational leadership as a second grader to the chapter "Kids Say the Darnedest Things", the reader will chuckle at the humor in a career in education. From his beginning years as a teacher/coach in the chapter "Rookie Teacher", to the last chapter, "Back To School", when he returned to the classroom 45 years later, Schmidt tells compelling stories of his experiences. In the Epilogue he comments on the changes he has seen over those 45 years and the differences he found in private and public schools. This is an entertaining read about a topic that we all think we understand, but few have experienced at the depth of this author.
