Book Club
Welcome to the Teachbad Book Club (TBC).
The official name of the club is, and will remain, Mr. Teachbad’s Official Teachbad Book Club Eventacular Discussion Series (MTbOTbBCEDS). Sadly, however, the marketing geniuses and focus groups have indicated that this is a cumbersome name and have suggested that “eventacular” is not a real word. I think that was a cheap shot.
So, we’ll go with Teachbad’s Book Club (TBC). For now…
Before I made it a club, I just reviewed a couple of books that I thought were good and that teachers should read.
Here they are. I still recommend them and you should buy them:
See Me After Class by Roxana Elden. (Review is here.)
and
Making the Grades: My Misadventures in the Standardized Testing Industry by Todd Farland.
Review is here.
