How to Fail English With Style

by Andrew Lee

For US High School and College students, English is a required subject every year, and they stink! They still stink now, and they sucked in the 1990s when Andrew Lee slogged through “The Classics” trying to find themes, meaning, and symbols when none seemed to exist in books grown men sleep through while watching movie adaptions in order to score with their wife. As a rebellious youth, Andrew found ways to sneak fun into assignments or ignore them all together. Rather than read Jane Eyre, he penned a conspiracy theory that blamed his classmates for his poor grades. Review book reports, original poems, research papers, and creative writing assignments from days gone by. Do you think an English teacher would fail a millennial teen attempting to countermand the learning environment today?

Great Book, and I agree with the Author

I attended RootsTech 2020 in Salt Lake City, UT Feb 2020. One of the classes I attended was taught by the author. After hearing him speak, I decided I had to purchase his book.

I hope some current English teachers and other school officials read his book and change the way English is taught.

I graduated from high school over 20 years prior to the author's graduation and I see no change from my high school English classes than what he discussed in this book.
