These were fun to read. Most of them worked off the common jokes about teachers and there were many cartoons on dog's eating homework, getting stuffed in lockers, or cheating. Not as awesome as I had hoped, but still worth the read. Some definitely reminded me of teachers or students I know.

A few cartoons were quite good and made me laugh outloud, but overall I was disappointed. I'm glad I got this book from the library and did not buy it.
