This book takes you on a fun journey through the eyes of an elementary school teacher. The many daily laughs and challenges that the everyday teacher goes through may go unnoticed, until now. From classroom cursing, parent conferences, and even dealing with the "B" word (bullying), the author takes you on a laugh-out-loud look at teachers today and the struggles and joys that the classroom can bring. It brings a sincere amount of appreciation for all that teachers do while giving everyone a much needed laugh at the end of their work day.

Take a peek! What kinds of things really happen inside an elementary school? The stories in Confessions of an Elementary School Principal will make you laugh. A few may make you cry. Other stories will provide insight into children and teaching. Many will give you pause and something to ponder. Stories span the career of Meril Smith. He is one of the lucky people who never went to work. He loved almost every ten-hour day he spent with students, teachers, and parents. All the stories are true. Only some of the names in the stories have been changed to "protect the guilty."

Explores the pressures on today's teachers and examines how the public school system--driven by statistics and finances--undermines its educators, while offering suggestions on how lasting school reform can be achieved.

Popular columnist and blogger Mrs Woog lifts the lid on a world that's part jungle, part nursery, a place both sweet and feral, where the rule of law is tenuous at best and primitive desires hold sway over order and discipline. And wait till you see the children!
