Stories from the Schoolhouse: Laughs and Lessons from a Real-Life Teacher

“Honey, we don’t staple our friends. It’s not nice.” In her education career spanning several decades, two North Carolina counties, two public high schools, four classrooms, and thousands of teenagers, Mrs. Soesbee has pored over curriculums and constructed lesson plans that attempt to answer the age-old question: “What the heck are they teaching the kids these days??” This book…will not provide that answer! In these pages, you’ll find quite the opposite. What started as occasional social media posts with a connected thread of “Y’all aren’t going to believe what happened at the Schoolhouse today!” grew into the collection you’re holding in your hands now. Oftentimes, Mrs. Soesbee took the mishaps that were lemons and made something resembling lemonade. Other times? Well, let’s just hope lessons were learned!
