Your call, case by case. --T.

Zenna Henderson's works were mostly from the point of view of teachers. But even the People books aren't exactly novels--more a series of short stories caught together by a framing narrative. Still, it's relevant that the first story in Pilgrimage ('Ararat') begins "We've had trouble with teachers here in Cougar Canyon."

There must be a ton of kids books featuring teachers.

There have to be a million, all of the Harry Potter books feature some brilliant some evil teachers. then there are the teachers that do not carry the title, but things like Danny Champion of the World, and so on. Or even "Room"

Also, there's Agnes Grey. Technically, Agnes is a governess: but so is Jane Eyre for part of the book.

"Those who can, do. those who can't, teach. And those who can't even teach run Wildside Academy." If you've ever wondered what goes on in schools when Ofsted aren't looking, here's your chance to find out in this hilarious new novel. Fully illustrated with original cartoons by the author.

@David
Don't promote your own book like that, as it is not nice (and there are other ways to promote a book).

It's an active turn-off.

It's a shame this one isn't on GR. Would an enterprising Librarian care to add it? :)

Amazon has a cover of another edition under ASIN ‎ B000NQ8ECM (it's not gorgeous).

Finally! So glad to finally find a list that isn't all about teacher/student affairs.
