Mr. A, as a teacher, burst into the principal's office and wrestled the scissors-wielding principal off the long-haired boy, whose mother was killed the night before. As assistant principal, he felt like a traitor as he watched two sheriff deputies beat up one of his trusting students. He dealt with a teenager whose tardy excuse was that a bird landed on his head and wouldn't let go. Mr. A erred in judgment, the results of which ended with a bloody, pulverized fourteen-year-old. Did the teenager Mr. A identified as a potential shooter pull it off? These and other episodes tell what's inside the walls, and behind the scenes, of public schools. By reading the tell-all chapters in this book, you will hear the staff and students try to make their way through Mr. A's classroom and assistant principal's office, and the halls of "Westmont High." You'll be with him as he counsels athletes. The author has been through it all during his forty-three years of education. He has left a footprint on six decades, from 1959 through 2003. Mr. A tells true stories that will make you cry, laugh, and shudder. Mr. A's Final Exam is a necessary read for anyone who is considering becoming a teacher and anyone who is one or has been one. Parents, as well, will find this candid view most revealing. The readers will learn about the weaknesses of the education process in our public schools. The book is a compilation of amusing and not so amusing anecdotes and Mr. A's candid views of public school administration.
