Think you know everything about schools and education? Think again!
This humorous look at the business of learning will challenge your conceptions about teaching and the educational system in the United States. It cracks open topics often ignored by institutions and critics, exposes the industry's hard political and financial realities, and encourages readers to think realistically about it all.
For teachers, students, and parents alike, Farber's postulates seek to stimulate discussion about what can and cannot be expected from schools-and how to thrive in today's mad world of academia. It is a guide to the pitfalls that teachers face, an insight into students' behavior, and a refreshingly unconventional approach to understanding and enjoying life's most rewarding profession.
Burned-out educator? Bored student? Frustrated parent? Or just thinking about becoming a teacher?
Let Farber guide you.
"The purpose of this book is to introduce you to the American education system as it exists, not to change it ... One should never take life too seriously. This is especially true for the professional educator. This book is written in this spirit. It is meant to be humorous and informative. It is not a criticism of education but a practical guide how to survive within the system and keep your sanity. The only difference between being 'in the groove' and being 'in the rut' is your point of view. Hopefully this little book will help you avoid the ruts."
