With topics such as pointless professional development where the author learned how to make bird noises, insanely incompetent teachers who make the good ones look bad, the shit parades that are parent conferences, lack of discipline even for kids who attack people with weapons, outrageous parent requests such as checking the size and color of a teenager's poop, this follow-up to the wildly popular memoir Teacher Misery does not disappoint!

Just wait till you read More Teacher Misery!"Morris opens up about the comical misery that has become the teaching profession-giving a voice to teachers everywhere." Parent Herald"One of the funniest teacher books you'll ever read!" Bored Teachers"The stories that Morris tells about the school system are riveting.

Jessica's Book Blog"This one is just the most hilarious and heart-breaking ever! Laugh out loud funny!" Teachers Are Terrific"Her stories are so ridiculous, that a non-educator might actually believe they're fabricated. Unfortunately, those of us who are on the inside know it's all too real. Her stories are laugh out loud funny, touching, and at times, maddening." Having a Mom Moment"This book is a great read and a real eye-opener." Carpe Librum"I recommend this book for many reasons. Morris is a great writer who did a great job at presenting her case. She is funny and entertaining. She is above all honest with her interpretation and the things that she sees around her. I liked the variation in text and material. Overall, this books needs to be spread around the country. She isn't the only person that feels this way.

    Two registered sex offenders had come to live in the small town Greenberg had called home for thirty years, and his fellow citizens, terrified and enraged, had come out to pin the blame on him. In this riveting memoir about a modern-day witch hunt, Greenberg recounts with his trademark acerbic humor what it is like to be the target of an entire town's wrath. As he describes his Hawthornian moment, he vividly sketches the characters and landscapes that make up a classic New England village and reflects on sex, panic, betrayal, and the sometimes beautiful, sometimes terrible ties that bind communities together.Gary Greenberg is the author of four books, most recently The Book of Woe: The DSM and the Unmaking of Psychiatry, which will be out in paperback this fall. His features and essays have appeared in many publications, including The New York Times, The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, and Harper's, where he is a contributing editor.

    I have seen and heard spirits since birth and now I want to tell you what I have learned With Love and Light. Psychic phenomena is not an exact science. It contains portions of trust, faith, and love (intangible and immeasurable attributes). These undefinables provoke people to be explorers sparked by the mystery of spirituality, life after death, ghosts, and other unexplainable phenomenon. I know this first hand because my life has unfolded in an unusual way—since birth I have seen and heard spirits (clairvoyance and clairaudience). I have worked world wide as a psychic medium and channel since I was eighteen years old.My memoir, With Love and Light, offers a new, fresh, and youthful voice of psychic phenomena and recognizes the overwhelming public demand for connection and confirmation of the world beyond our senses. I creatively reveal the challenges of mediumship coupled with my most personal pivotal moments of living with this unique ability. This book covers how a family handles living with a psychic child, games that spirits play, my decision to assist others through my gift, and more. In contrast to the serious side, my book offers a candid and humorous discussion of spirits’ involvement in humans’ daily lives, including questions and answers that delve into matters not often discussed, such as suicide, invasion of privacy, location of spirits and death. Also, With Love and Light offers an opportunity to vicariously experience a mediumistic interaction through eleven diverse first hand accounts which depicts their connections with the spirit world through me.

    Collating classic music press and glossy magazine articles, Morrissey in Conversation describes the rocker's crazy-quilt career in his own words. It’s all here — how the Smiths created 1980s indie rock; the anti-rock credentials, feminist sympathies, and militant vegetarianism; Morrisey’s obsession with pop culture and girl groups, his (a)sexuality, and sardonic salvos against the mediocre. This is the story of how one man bewitched the ‘80s, peaked in the ‘90s, and triumphed in the new millennium.
