#2 Teaching Frankenstein: A Cautionary Tale

I used to teach for 5 years. And I decided to write about my experience in a dark comedy to make a difference. It’s the kind of book teachers can rally to while laughing. My goal was to shed light on what teaching was really like for the rest of the world who sees teachers as people you only half work while waiting for the summer to roll around.

The end result was a book that managed to inspire along the way. It’s dark. Inappropriate. And 100 percent not your typical teaching book. As in, I can’t see them handing it out at PDs…but teachers get it.
