Remember when you were in school and you had a substitute teacher? Did you like having a substitute? Do you think the sub liked her job? This is a humorous look back at Patricia Snell's decades of experience as a substitute teacher in a small town elementary school. In it she laments the disappearance of chalkboards from the classroom, and of the tastiest food from the cafeteria. In this memoir you will learn how she handled a class of unruly first graders and single-handedly fixed a problem with a classroom toilet. You'll also find out how she came to be called Mrs. Stinky and how she became a hero in the classroom. Everyone knows what it is like to be in school and have a substitute teacher. In this amusing book Mrs. Snell tells us what it is like to be the substitute teacher. As all good things must end, the memoir comes to a close as Mrs. Snell considers that it might be time to call it quits on her career as a stand-in for teachers.
