Best Seller Books: Learn Me Good Review

I wanted to read a chapter or two of Learn Me Good before going to bed one evening, but I kept laughing and saying to myself, "Just one more chapter." Well, an hour and a half later I had finished the book and went to bed giggling.

Although I'm not a teacher, I think anyone can relate to the humor artfully presented in Learn Me Good. Who can't relate to the challenges of starting a new career and learning how to navigate the jungle (well, chalkboard jungle in this case)?

The email journal format is unique as well as the creative subject headings and sign-offs. The novelty does not wear off, but rather feels personally warmer and familiar as the book progresses.

My mother retired after 16 years of teaching elementary school kids. I gave her this book as her retirement gift to her delight and will be recommending it to many others.

Happy reading and laughing!

Product Description:
Jack Woodson was a thermal design engineer for four years until he was laid off from his job. 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. Learn Me Good is a hilarious first-person account, inspired by real life experiences. Through a series of emails to Fred Bommerson, his buddy who still works at Heat Pumps Unlimited, Jack chronicles a year-in-the-life of a brand new teacher. 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 writes each email with a dash of sarcasm and plenty of irreverent wit.
