At 22, Dan Brown came to the Bronx's P.S. 85 as an eager, fresh-faced teacher. Unbeknownst to him, his assigned class, 4-217, was the designated "dumping ground" for all fourth-grade problem cases, and his students would prove to be more challenging than he could ever anticipate. Intent on being a caring, dedicated teacher but confronted with unruly children, absent parents, and a failing administration, Dan was pushed to the limit time and again: he found himself screaming with rage, punching his fist through a blackboard out of sheer frustration, often just wanting to give up and walk away.

Historia
Best-selling social historian Charles Murray has written a delightfully fussy - and entertaining - book on the hidden rules of the road in the workplace - and in life - from the standpoint of an admonishing, but encouraging, workplace grouch and taskmaster. Why the curmudgeon? The fact is that most older, more senior people in the workplace are closet curmudgeons. In today's politically correct world, they may hide their displeasure over your misuse of grammar or your overly familiar use of their first name without an express invitation. But don't be fooled by their pleasant demeanor....

Honest resource from a US English teacher in Japan
This book should be required reading for anyone interested in teaching English to school children in Japan. Buy this audiobook and listen to it BEFORE you accept a teaching position in Japan.
Some Americans romanticize moving/working abroad. If you want an honest account of man's experience moving to Japan and teaching English to school-aged children, this is your book! Moving/working abroad has its ups and downs.
I like author-read audiobooks, and I listened to all 4 hours, 30 minutes of this Audiobook. I appreciated the author's honesty and stories. The last chapter is THE BEST. Way to go, Steve!
This is the second book in the author's "Everything I wish I'd known about Japan before I moved there" Series. I liked the first and second books, and I plan to listen to the third book.
My Mom is a retired English teacher in the US. She told me many stories about students as I grew up. Although she never wanted to be an English teacher in Japan, I was curious to hear Steve's stories about teaching English to Japanese students. Mom's stories and Steve's stories are very different!
The accompanying .pdf was helpful for understanding some of the visuals referenced in the audiobook.
Excellent storytelling. Great performance. Overall, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars. Now, onto book #3!
