Hilarious story of an aspiring writer who spends five years as an L.A. public school substitute teacher. Tales of promiscuous PTA moms, drug induced misadventures of faculty members, and student/teacher romances make this a book that should convince most parents to send their kids to private school.
I went into this book thinking it was a memoir. Published in 2002, I kept thinking this book could never be published in these political incorrect times. When I delved a little deeper I discovered it is 'loosely' based on the author's experience as a substitute teacher. He doesnt have the credentials to be a full time teacher and is trying to break into the business of writing for television shows and wants a job where he doesnt have to work too hard. He finds he doesn't like working with little kids and much prefers to work with high school students. The part that is politically incorrect in this day and age is that he frequently lusts after his students and sometimes even has sexual relationships with them. If that doesnt bother you the book is funny sometimes, just take it with a grain of salt.
