Kurzbeschreibung

Jack Woodson was a thermal design engineer for four years until he was laid off from his job. Now, as a teacher, he faces new challenges. Conference calls have been replaced with parent conferences. Product testing has given way to standardized testing. Instead of business cards, Jack now passes out report cards. The only thing that hasn't changed noticeably is the maturity level of the people surrounding him all day. Learn Me Good is a hilarious first-person account, inspired by real life experiences. Through a series of emails to Fred Bommerson, his buddy who still works at Heat Pumps Unlimited, Jack chronicles a year-in-the-life of a brand new teacher. With subject lines such as "Irritable Vowel Syndrome," "In math class, no one can hear you scream," and "I love the smell of Lysol in the morning," Jack writes each email with a dash of sarcasm and plenty of irreverent wit.

Von Lisa
Format:Taschenbuch
Wie in seinem Blog, erzählt Pearson auch in seinem Roman aus seinem Alltag als amerikanischer Grundschullehrer.
Seine Sicht auf die Schule, seine Schüler, die Kollegen und die Zwänge des Systems sind sicher nicht nur für Leser (wie mich), die selbst Lehrerin sind, sehr interessant. Sein Schreibstil ist durch eine gewisse (Selbst-)Ironie und durch das Email-Format angenehm zu lesen.
Zwar wurden die Ereignisse nach Angaben des Autors so verändert, dass die Rechte der Betroffenen geschützt bleiben, doch scheinen durch die Erzählungen sehr gut vorstellbare Alltagserfahrungen eines spätberufenen Pädagogen durch.
Ein rundherum empfehlenswerter Lesespaß nicht nur für interessierte Kollegen, die sich die englische (aber nicht all zu schwierige) Lektüre zutrauen.

Entertaining, Even For Non-Teachers 31. Juli 2010
Von D. Figueroa - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Learn Me Good is an often laugh-out-loud, 'probably-true' story of an engineer who loses his job and ends up teaching 3rd grade math in Dallas, TX.

The book is presented as a series of emails that Mr. Wooden...uh, Woodley...errr...Woodson (read the book, you'll understand that part) sends to a friend at his prior employer about the kids he's teaching and the crazy things they do and say. It's worth the small price of the book just to read the subjects & clever names with which he closes every email, I found myself snickering at several.

I've never raised or worked with children, so I don't read this genre (and wouldn't have, had I not read about it on the Kindle Boards), but I laughed loud enough to startle my dog a few times and found most of the stories to be at the very worst, amusing. Most people who have had or taught small children would get quite a kick out of it.

The author states up front that he's changed all the names and that 'most' of the incidents he recounts are true, lol. The book is a quick, easy read and the author's love of his new-found profession comes shining through in this light-hearted book. I finished it in two nights, which could have been one if I weren't so busy. The book is about 55,000 words. I'm not sure how many pages that translates into, but it's definitely novel-length.

A note about the Kindle edition: I didn't find any typos or grammatical errors (none that weren't intentional, lol), just a couple of odd line breaks. Formatting for Kindle isn't easy. I didn't fine them too distracting & they don't warrant a reformat, in my opinion. To those who worry about errors taking away from the enjoyment of an ebook, you can feel confident in buying this book, it won't disappoint.

What elementary teachers really do 19. November 2006
Von Deborah Diffily - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
John Pearson has managed to put his wry sense of humor into the book, Learn Me Good. For anyone who has spent their days working with elementary-school students, many of these situations will seem familiar -- but funnier because of John's writing style. For those whose only experience in elementary school classrooms was the period of time that they were in elementary school, John's emails describing his life as a teacher will give insight into what teachers really do all day long.

This book would make a great gift to any teacher.

Pleasant 4. September 2009
Von Matthew Erwin - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
John Pearson's "Learn Me Good" is an enjoyable little book that you can get for the Kindle fairly cheaply. As many others have explained, the book is a semi-autobiographical account of Pearson's first year of teaching as told by a series of emails to a former coworker at "Heat Pumps R' Us."

There are several laugh out loud funny moments in the book, usually describing kids being innocently silly or budding psychopaths. It is a pleasant and humorous read and for the most part is a G-rated read that most anyone could enjoy. The few PG-13 jokes (among the funniest) would probably go right over kids heads anyhow.

A few things keep the book from earning a few more stars. One ongoing joke about a kid incorrectly spelling a famed four letter word is met at one point by a reference to "Turret's Syndrome." Admittedly this is unintentionally hilarious, but goes to the greater point of the book needing a bit of editing. Also, at times I found Pearson tried a bit too hard to slam jokes and pop culture references into every sentence instead of letting it flow more naturally.

All in all, they are mostly minor complaints and Learn Me Good will give you some excellent laughs. For the price, it is hard to resist.

Ive tried to establish an us-vs.-them mentality with the kids. I explain to them, The TAKS people live in a dark, dripping cave, and they like to eat brussels sprouts and lima beans, and they LOVE to trick little kids with their math questions. Dont be one of the kids that falls into their trap! &quote;

The first room I looked at had most of the desks and dry-erase boards up at the front of the room, and games, craft materials, and a computer at the rear. Thats right, my friend  learning up front, playtime in the back. Its the mullet of portable classrooms! &quote;
