Teacher Misery perfectly encapsulates the comical misery that has become the teaching profession. Jane Morris's strange, funny, and sometimes unbelievable teaching experiences are told through a collection of short stories, essays, and artifacts including real emails from parents, students, and administrators.

From the parents who blame their son's act of arson on the teacher for causing him low self-esteem, to the student who offers to teach the teacher how to sell drugs so she can pay her bills, to the administrator whose best advice is to "treat kids like sacks of shit", one story is more shocking than the next.

An important audiobook for teachers and non-teachers alike, Teacher Misery paints an amusing and thoroughly entertaining picture of what has become of our education system, without detracting from the overall point that what teachers have to put up with today is complete, utter, unacceptable insanity.

I recognize many of the stories as events that happened in my classroom. Others would never be tolerated in my school. As I listened to one incredulous story after another, knowing they were true, I began to get anxious about going back to the classroom. I also dreamed about the situations that were explained, which added to my anxiety. Maybe a disclaimer/warning at the beginning of the book might be helpful.
I am glad I listened all the way to the end, because the inspiring stories and comments that you ended with are what teachers need to remember and the rest of the world needs to know.

Every Teacher Should Listen To

This novel is filled with so much honesty. She uses humor to tell truths of teaching but never says that teaching children is not worth the struggles. I recommend every teacher read.

Brutally honest. This is teaching in America. And yet, I wouldn't do anything else. Highly recommend for all new teachers and veterans.

Factual. Brave. I feel validated.

Found this extremely hard to listen to. The Narrator over articulated every sound so that it sounded unnatural. It was hard to attend. The stories are familiar and are definitely causes of reacher misery.
