Learn Me Good, by John Pearson

Learn Me Good, by John Pearson. True story of a laid off engineer who becomes a third grade math and science teacher in an inner city school. His emails to former coworkers, about his first year of teaching, are the body of the book. He tells his friends about the exploits of his students, humorous, sad, touching, and revolting. We former teachers can relate totally! Testing is a major part of his year just as it has become for all teachers these days. Short read. If you only have a few minutes at a time, each email can be read as your short chapter. You can also go to "Read Me Good" on Facebook and click 'like' to see posts from him. 8 out of 10. Recommended to my teacher friends and to parents who wonder, "What is it with these schools?"
