Soooo I am not a teacher nor do I know any personally but if what is in this book is what happens to them at school then I hope more of these books start coming out because its hilarious. I loved how raw and open Maxine was during the writing of this book, she made it to where it felt like I was right there with her. Her explanation for certain things and descriptions of her students was truly touching. it really showed in her writing just how much she cared for her students and i for one appreciated it. The only downside of this book for me was that some of the stories didn’t have enough context, that is just MY preference though so I am giving it 4 out of 5 stars.
