Being a retired teacher this book appealed to me- we've all had days like that! To start with I struggled with his rants & total negativity. About halfway through I had to go & read something else. However, as it is a short book I thought I'd go back & managed to finish it. Towards the end I began to appreciate that so much of his vitriol was born from the frustration of not being able to do what he went into teaching for -make a difference to those he taught! His language is pretty strong & he has some wonderful exclamations of disbelief! All in all it was worth reading & made me sad that education these days is such an uphill battle. Thanks to Netgalley & the publisher for letting me read & review this book.
