Publisher's Summary
Teacher Misery perfectly encapsulates the comical misery that has become the teaching profession. Jane Morris's strange, funny, and sometimes unbelievable teaching experiences are told through a collection of short stories, essays, and artifacts including real emails from parents, students, and administrators.
From the parents who blame their son's act of arson on the teacher for causing him low self-esteem, to the student who offers to teach the teacher how to sell drugs so she can pay her bills, to the administrator whose best advice is to "treat kids like sacks of shit", one story is more shocking than the next.
An important audiobook for teachers and non-teachers alike, Teacher Misery paints an amusing and thoroughly entertaining picture of what has become of our education system, without detracting from the overall point that what teachers have to put up with today is complete, utter, unacceptable insanity.

Depressingly hopeful
This book is amazing. I am an Australian teacher and I could relate to so many of these stories and examples. What was so beautiful about this book though was that through the performance and writing you could genuinely feel Jane’s love for what she does. It sucks and is hard but that there are moments, connections and people that constantly make it worth getting out of bed and facing another day of bull worth it.
