The Very Orderly Sacking of a Teacher in East Addled Hope Where Everyone Believes in Jesus and Hell is Real

this is the true story of a teacher charged with disorderly conduct for trying to maintain order in her classroom. names are fictional but all testimony is verbatim. using acerbic satire and humor, the author dismantles the "evidence" that authorities, from school officials to police to state investigators, constructed to force the termination of a tenured teacher who previously had no mark on her record. it exposes the difficulties teachers confront, for which they receive little or no support from administrators or parents, thereby costing engaged students not only their opportunities to learn, but sometimes the loss of their favorite teachers, as some students thought of this one. the story also explores the increasingly boisterous behavior of children in the U.S.
