Best in Class: Essential Wisdom from Real Student Writing

by Tim Clancy

Overview

“You will quite literally, laugh out loud at this collection of hilarious moments [a] teacher . . .culled from his students’ essays over a 25-year career.” —Scholastic Teacher
 
From the very first week of Tim Clancy’s twenty-five-year career as a high school English teacher, he began to notice and collect funny and unusual thoughts he discovered in his students’ writing, such as: “The word ‘witch’ has become a household word, like ‘spatula,’” and “Wherever excitement is, there will always be romance. Trust me.” He would occasionally share them with his classes, who enjoyed them as much as he did, and so this book was born. Best in Class collects nearly 200 of the most entertaining of these moments culled from real student writing and complements them with dozens of playful illustrations to create a sympathetically hilarious book for anyone who has muddled their way through the wilderness of a school writing assignment.
 
Funny and strange moments from twenty-five years of student writing captured in 200 pieces of essential wisdom.
