School Daze is a poignant account of the many facets of substitute teaching. The author tells through her story-poems her everyday experiences teaching in the public schools, grades pre-K through 12 for the past 12 years. She offers intuitive insight and humorous observations that routinely occur in the life of a substitute teacher. There is a strong thread of hope for the future intermingled with a realistic portrayal of the present that shines through these poems. Readers may identify with them, be surprised by what they learn, laugh and cry with them, but they will not be disappointed.
