Book Description
David Garlick, your favourite educational storyteller, is back with a new collection of short stories: The Principal Chronicles Two/Too/II/As Well. It’s a ‘mostly true’ memoir that follows Garlick from pre-school to post retirement. The majority of stories, such as “At the Intersection of Adolescence and Technology,” “Three A.M. Hypochondria,” and “Kid, Your Dad Knows Everybody,” display a gentle sense of humour that will have you laughing and turning the page to get to the next story. Others, like “They’ve Already Won,” will grab at your heartstrings. Some stories do a bit of both. Every aspect of Garlick’s career is dealt with, from student to teacher to vice-principal and principal to retiree. The stories show the rollercoaster ride that is education, whether you’re the student, teacher or principal. As one reviewer of the first book said, “If you are a teacher, were a teacher, or know a teacher, this is a must read!” Although the target audience of The Principal Chronicles was intended to be educators, people from all walks of life, and all ages have found the stories relatable and enjoyable. People who finished that book wanting more will love Two/Too/II/As Well. As long as you like to laugh, this book is for you!

The Principal Chronicles
Author: David Garlick
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1039125751
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The Principal Chronicles is a collection of funny and poignant short stories that follow the arc of one man’s life and career in education. These works of creative non-fiction—or, to be precise, of semi-autobiographical, pseudo-non-fictional memoir—have been refined by many years of telling and re-telling to David Garlick’s friends, family and, especially, to fellow educators. Some stories, such as “You’ve Got to Eat a Pound of Dirt Before You Die” depict childhood and teenage hijinks. Others, such as “Elvis Presley and My Second Teaching Report,” deal with Garlick’s years in the classroom. Many stories, bearing such salient titles as “I Hate High School Swimming Pools” and “Sometimes—in Fact, Almost Always—They Grow Up,” detail his years as a high school vice-principal and principal. Garlick spins lively, engaging tales about the funny situations in which he has so often found himself, from his earliest years all the way to retirement and beyond. By turns candid, poignant, insightful, and surprising, and always gently humorous, these stories invite readers to laugh about humanity’s quirks and appreciate the many large and small ways that people show each other kindness every day.
