At least she wasn't shot
You'll laugh and cry and worry for future generations!


Do you think you know what is happening in schools today?Just because you attended public school or even studied to become an educator doesn't mean you have any idea of what it is really like behind the teacher's desk.   

In this her first book, Jennie Bergerson, looks back at her thirty-year teaching career.  Being a teacher is so much more than what you assume from being a student yourself or from what you were taught in your education courses.  Writing lessons,encouraging, disciplining, grading:those are the tip of the ice berg.In her book, Telling Stories out of School:  How I Survived 30 Years of Teaching, Jennie covers how she and others dealt with issues from irate parents, students and colleagues to lockdowns to just plain hilarious student comments. 

There are so many situations in the education field that are never taught in college or witnessed by the students.  Most educators go in to the field having no idea what they are about to face.  It can quickly become a sink or swim situation.  

Reading the short stories in this book will provide ideas of how some educators handled situations you'll not learn about from a college syllabus.  You can see how some situations were handle well and from others, you can see how you might have handled it better. The short stories told by professional educator, Jennie Bergerson will leave you laughing, crying, in awe as well as in misbelief.  

If you're not going into education, but have school-aged children or grandchildren, this book can offer an idea of what your child's educators endure.  If you'd like an idea of some of the things that go on behind the scenes at schools, Telling Stories out of School:  How I Survived 30 Years of Teaching is a must read book.
