The World’s Worst Teachers: David Walliams

Product Information

Mr. Keating shows he’s not your average prep-school instructor in all sorts of ways: encouraging his students to stand on their desks, requesting to be called “O Captain, My Captain,” and so on. But perhaps the most bizarre (and therefore the most delightful to his buttoned-up pupils) example of his iconoclasm comes when he instructs his class to rip out the introduction to their poetry books. Well it’s another World’s Worst books by David Walliams and this time he’s turned the microscope on you Teachers – you all thought you had it safe didn’t you, got away with ruining children’s lives, forever tormenting them, giving them homework, having coffee breath and making them do exercise in the rain or in their pants. Well Walliams explores the worst of the worst with The World’s Worst Teachers – and in doing so makes many parents take a trip down memory lane, as when they read, they can’t help but mention the teachers they had – causing interesting after reading discussions. This may and should probably be the last of this series – although each story is different and told with Walliams usual brilliance, this one did seem a little repetitive with many teachers ending up, floating away, blown away, washed away etc. It’s great, funny as a hedgehog in your pants and my daughter laughed her head off – but I feel he’s gone as far as he can with the series and this, if it is the last of the series, is a very fitting bookend to that series of books! The head of the school has since told the substitute teacher agency she does not want this troublemaker working there again. There’s been too much trauma. It's all very entertaining, and a refreshing change from horrible children. I listened to the audiobook from our local library, on school runs. So we missed illustrations and visual lists, Tony Ross's usual high standard I expect. But we did get to hear the author reading his own work, and as usual, his acting experience and natural persona/charm/whatever you want to call it brings out the humour, the playing with language and just general insanity.

Like many teachers, Ms. Halsey feels tremendous pressure to ensure her students do well on their high-stakes standardized tests. (Unlike most teachers--hopefully--she wants her kids to succeed so she can get a bonus to pay for breast implants.) She crosses the ethical and legal line, though, when she poses as a journalist to gain access to the state test questions and answers. And as for Mr Phobe, he’s a teacher with a real difference. He is bone-shakingly terrified of… children! Movie-world consequences: Ms. Halsey’s students ace the state test, she gets the bonus, and though a fellow teacher accuses her of cheating, Ms. Halsey is never punished. In fact, she gets promoted to guidance counselor the following year.

Millions of children have loved the World’s Worst Children – now they will revel in this delightfully dreadful collection of the most gruesome grown-ups ever, The World’s Worst Teachers. Brought to you by number one bestselling author, David Walliams, with every story illustrated in glorious colour by artistic genius, Tony Ross. Die skrywer word (myns insiens tereg) deur die ‘Evening Standard’ met Roald Dahl vergelyk en ek kan nie wag om hierdie boek se pasmaat (‘Die aardigste kinders op aarde’) ook te lees nie. Beide is in Afrikaans vertaal deur Kobus Geldenhuys en is lieflike lywige boeke (meer as 300 bladsye) vir voor- én selflees vir kinders van 6 tot ouetehuis. This book is so good, I loved it! I bet you you've seen horrible teachers but not as horrible as these ones. After you read the book you'll be grateful to to have so un-horrible teacher........ Most schools have some sort of formula for calculating students’ final grades every semester. Exams, papers, homework, and class participation all get a percentage weight; teachers plug in the numbers for each category and come up with a grade that goes on the report card. But at the school in Clueless, the system seems a bit more subjective. When Cher receives her report card at the beginning of the movie, she’s horrified--but then declares that the grades are “just a jumping-off point to start negotiations.” Her gym teacher boosts her grade after Cher tells her she’s going through a break up; her world history teacher also gives her more points for promising to start a letter-writing campaign; her debate grade goes up after she finds the teacher a girlfriend. Cher’s father’s incredulousness when he sees the revised report card speaks for itself: “What’d you do, turn in some extra credit reports? Take the midterms over?” When Cher answers no to both questions, it dawns on him, “You mean to tell me you argued your way from a C-plus to an A-minus?”

I have to say that I did very much enjoy these stories, with many reminding me of some of my worst teachers – this volume is told with Walliams usual wit and jovial brilliance, with oodles of bum and poo jokes it’s as if you’re on a school trip to the local sewage works.These amazing stories were illustrated by the fabulous Tony Ross, adding an extra dimension to David Walliams’ fantastic stories.

She spends more time working on her manuscript than she does advising students, and she even asks her advisees for help in coming up with words to describe her hero’s anatomy. A Chicago elementary school teacher took humiliating photos of a seven-year-old student’s hairstyle to post on Facebook.
