内容简介 在线阅读本书

Kids do the darndest things. And so does your boss. And your coworkers. And some days it drives you up the wall. And some days you just sit back and laugh at it all. Ms. Mimi is a Harlem schoolteacher who loves kids. And teaching. And stickers. And post-its. And what her kids do every day. She’s not so happy with the things that get in the way of the time she spends with her students but they’re just grist for the mill. It’s Not All Flowers and Sausages is the name of her blog (and is the working title of our book). Inside we’ll meet characters like Curly, the kid that teachers dream about. All wide eyes and a mind that drinks up knowledge like a sponge, he’s the stereotypical teacher’s pet that reminds Ms. Mimi why she’s teaching. We’ll also meet The Weave, the school administrator that doesn’t seem to remember what teaching is; The Bacon Hunter, a teacher who seems to have partially checked out; Little Crooked Glasses, a child who warms your heart just because he’s so sweet and… clumsy; and a myriad of people we can identify with and commiserate over and care about because we work with people like this and we know children like these.
