Funny and strange moments from 25 years of student writing captured in
200 pieces of essential wisdom.
A hilarious book for anyone who has muddled through a school writing
assignment: From the very first week of Tim Clancy's 25-year career as
a high school English teacher, he began to notice and collect funny and
strange moments he discovered in his students' writing. For example, his
students wrote, The word 'witch' has become a household word, like
'spatula, ' and Wherever excitement is, there will always be romance.
Trust me. He would occasionally share them with his classes, who enjoyed
them as much as he did, and Best in Class was born.

wisdom it contains.
