Adequate Yearly Progress by Roxanna Elden

3.0

A satirical novel rooted in reality, this book looks at what happens when teachers are held to ridiculous standards that are supposed to put children's learning first, but really just create confusion and paperwork. If you are a teacher, this book is 100% for you. I'm not a teacher, but from what I know about our education system, this is an exaggerated but not entirely unrealistic view of what teaching is like.

I did find some parts to be just a bit too over the top, which I think in many cases was the point, but for me as a reader it was sometimes distracting. Adequate Yearly Progress is an easy and quick read to dive into and will definitely entertain those working in education. I received an ARC of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
