Teaching is exhausting.
The coffee gets stronger, the patience gets thinner, and somehow the copier always knows when you're already having a bad day.
Jaesop's Not-So Fables is a humorous and heartfelt collection of poems, classroom proverbs, and teacher survival reflections inspired by the chaos of the school year. From first-quarter optimism to testing-season despair, holiday madness to the desperate crawl toward summer break, this book captures the moments every educator knows all too well.
Inside you'll find:
- relatable teacher humor
- witty Classroom Proverbs
- motivational moments hidden beneath the sarcasm
- illustrations and recurring visual jokes
- reminders that surviving the year is sometimes an accomplishment on its own
Written for teachers, burned-out professionals, over-caffeinated humans, and anyone trying to hold it together one break at a time, this collection blends comedy and encouragement into a reading experience that feels like a conversation in the teacher lounge after a very long week.
Perfect for:
- teacher gifts
- coworkers and staff appreciation
- end-of-year presents
- new teachers
- tired educators who just need a laugh
Because sometimes the moral of the story is simply:
keep going.
- J. Scollan
