Excerpt
"Movies are the mythic tales of today. They can make us cry, scream, or laugh. They can cheer us up or bring us down. And just like those ancient stories of humans struggling against opposition, movies tend to focus on a hero undertaking some kind of journey, whether it be physical, intellectual, or emotional.
Heroes may share common storylines, but there are many diverse types of heroic characters. There are truths we can learn about ourselves as individuals based on the kinds of heroes we appreciate most. Some people like to watch Debra Winger’s character facing cancer in Terms of Endearment, while others prefer to watch Arnold Schwarzenegger gunning people down in Terminator 2. These very different heroes communicate different philosophies about life, and that’s the idea that sparked our book."
So Ya' Wanna' Be A Teacher is a humorous revolutionary book that tells exactly what goes on in a typical American public school. E-book version is available at Kindle, at Nook and at Smashwords.
