Teaching on Poverty Rock 

Rating:
Summary: Mercedes Island
Review: Although hoping for a longer and more analytical book, this tale of Island residents is accurate. I work on the said Poverty Rock, and there are some that are unrealistic in expectations (you'd better believe we discuss their bizarre antics too). Funny and TRUE. Maybe a follow-up book can be titled 'Mercedes Island'. Oh, that parent wants the sunrise to be adjusted to later in the day... only there.

Summary: Spite
Review: I have not yet read this book but I am buying to spite the stupid parents....

Summary: Read this book, teachers!
Review: McGowan has successfully said what I have thought again and again. Although I teach in Seattle, not Mercer Island, much of it rings true with my experiences with those crazy parents with an overdeveloped attitude of entitlement. You'll enjoy this quick read!
