This book is not a memoir. Nor is it an autobiography. Neither is it a diary nor a scholarly essay, a confession or a consolation. It is not a Menippean satire. It is not entirely a personal philosophy about how teaching should be done or how teachers should be constructed or how educators should proceed about their jobs. It is not a manual. It is not a history of educational practices nor is it a diatribe concerning social trends and behaviours as they pertain to the classroom over time. It is not an exercise in cultural studies. It is not an accounting or a field notes or a scientific study…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
This book is not a memoir. Nor is it an autobiography. Neither is it a diary nor a scholarly essay, a confession or a consolation. It is not a Menippean satire. It is not entirely a personal philosophy about how teaching should be done or how teachers should be constructed or how educators should proceed about their jobs. It is not a manual. It is not a history of educational practices nor is it a diatribe concerning social trends and behaviours as they pertain to the classroom over time. It is not an exercise in cultural studies. It is not an accounting or a field notes or a scientific study or a demonstration of hyperthymesia. It is not a cock and bull story, at least not all of it. ... So, what is this book? Well, you've been to school and you know what it was like; in your reading here, you will be the one most qualified to answer that question. What is this book! For now, best perhaps to think of Epimenides' old syllogism and go forward with the simple idea that, in all probability, everything written in these pages is false. And there, let the lesson begin.
Autorenporträt
Brian T. W. Way was raised in Prince Edward County, learned how to fish for trout and hunt for whales in university, then taught at various secondary schools and in higher education (Departments of English and Education, Western). In retirement, he has served on Boards of Governance for the Royal Military Colleges of Canada, the national Al Purdy A-Frame Trust and the Prince Edward County Library System, as well as teaching at Loyalist College, taking up the creative keyboard and becoming a failed painter. Recent publications include Somebody should've told Fred, magic birds, Orchard of the Gods, Heads or Tales, american mankillers and Perilous Journey in the Prose Fiction of Don Gutteridge. And in process, Bee: a book for all ages. (Photos: Grade Two, Massassaga Public School, and, a bit later in life, at Thoor Ballylee.)
