Bored of education? Learn what’s really going on behind the locked offices and classroom doors of your children’s schools. Seriously, education can be a funny institution. That’s why I have written Blackboard Bungle. Blackboard Bungle is a collection of humorous vignettes, offering a fresh and comedic view of the contemporary school system as seen through the eyes of a recently retired middle school teacher with nearly thirty-four years of experience. Readers will encounter unforgettable characters ( Absent-Minded Professors,
The Traveling Man,
The Devil’s Disciple ), incredible situations ( Ticket to Nowhere,
Lost in the City,
Yelling Theater in a Crowded Fire ), administrative blunders ( The Giant,
One if by Land,
What’s in a Name? ), and controversial topics ( Combat Pay,
Sub Service,
To SURR with Love ), to name a few, in a memoir that exposes the dark and lighter side of today’s schools in a series of brief, anecdotal chapters.
