SO FUNNY! This book is hilarious! I love hearing about the kids from the teacher's perspective. The author does a great job of putting her silent fantasies on paper.. I couldn't put this book down I loved this book. I read it in one day, it is an easy, funny, funny read. It should be required reading for parents of school age children!!
