Teaching Is F'd Up M K Heele

What if a teacher was brutally honest about the profession? Too many teaching books are about inspiration or making a difference and do not convey the madness of current classroom teaching in average public schools. This book is an observational glimpse into all the components that create a tumultuous atmosphere that teachers must navigate, and the implications this has on a concerning future for everyone involved. It also exemplifies the personal impacts on individuals who are simply trying to be good teachers. Anyone interested in pedagogy, education, teachers, school systems, policies, parents, administration, or the social circumstances that young people find themselves in should read this book. No one is spared, particularly myself, in this comical, serious, alarming account of the factors that have made teaching truly f'd up.
