Learn Me Gooder by John Pearson
3.0
The book started out pretty strong, the witty sign-offs being my special favorite. Jack's kids are hilarious, his frustration entertaining, and his love for teaching shines through it all. Reading about the American elementary education system is also fascinating (it's so much more laid back than India!). I also love the format - quirky emails are so endearing!
But at about three-fourths of the way, the style and content started feeling repetitive and the school year was stretched thin to increase the page count. By the end, the author seems to have run out of all ideas - the award ceremony at the end of the school year read like it had been copy pasted from 'Learn Me Good'.
I would have given this book a 3.5stars, but 4 is too much for it. So 3 it is!
