David Garlick, your favourite educational storyteller, is back with a new collection of short stories: The Principal Chronicles Two/Too/II/As Well. It's a 'mostly true' memoir that follows Garlick from pre-school to post retirement. The majority of stories, such as "At the Intersection of Adolescence and Technology," "Three A.M. Hypochondria," and "Kid, Your Dad Knows Everybody," display a gentle sense of humour that will have you laughing and turning the page to get to the next story. Others, like "They've Already Won," will grab at your heartstrings. Some stories do a bit of both.
Every aspect of Garlick's career is dealt with, from student to teacher to vice-principal and principal to retiree. The stories show the rollercoaster ride that is education, whether you're the student, teacher or principal. As one reviewer of the first book said, "If you are a teacher, were a teacher, or know a teacher, this is a must read!"
Although the target audience of The Principal Chronicles was intended to be educators, people from all walks of life, and all ages have found the stories relatable and enjoyable. People who finished that book wanting more will love Two/Too/II/As Well. As long as you like to laugh, this book is for you!
