It's list time again...
I know many of you have already started your school year, but here in the mid-atlantic we start "late"(this week or next). It is never too late to add more books to the list. An ode to back to school - some fiction, mystery, memoir, poetry, childrens, and a classic.
FYI - I haven't read any of these, but they are all on my list.
Schooled by Anisha Lakhani (the cover got me)
Ahead of the Curve: Two Years at Harvard Business School by Philip Delves Broughton
Inside Mrs. B's Classroom: Courage, Hope, and Learning on Chicago's South Side by Leslie Baldacci (heard good things about this...Allison?)
Educating Esme: Diary of a Teacher's First Year by Esme Raji Codell 
Saving Miss Oliver's: A Novel of Leadership, Loyalty and Change by Stephen Davenport
Wayside School is Falling Down by Louis Sachar 
The School Mouse by Dick King-Smith
Lunch Money and Other Poems About School by Carol Sheilds
Yoko by Rosemary Wells 
The Crazy School by Cornelia Read
Village School by Miss Read (anyone read this series?)
The Secret School by Avi 
Up the Down Staircase by Bel Kaufman (groovy)
Great Books for High School Kids: A Teacher's Guide to Books that Can Change Teens' Lives by Rick Ayers and Amy Crawford - curious to see what my hs english teacher friends (ahem, e, j & d) think of this list.
Schoolhouse Rock - " Personally, I celebrate the (man's) entire catalog" 
I happen to be partial to Grammar Rock, in a pinch I find myself singing the songs to remember certain rules.
and just like Library Lady, I present to you:
Lunch Lady tee hee.
So before you get buried in massive amounts of paper & homework battles - gird yourself by reading something good.
The End.
