This exciting book rips away the curtain of silence and exposes what really goes on between substitute teachers and young high school girls and boys during, and after, the long school days. Adults are not invited to read this book. (Except for teachers, assistant teachers and working high school staff up to and including the Principal.) This is the action world of the high school student. It is strongly recommended that adults, parents, school district administrations (above Principal), local Boards of Education, and state, county and federal government education departments, do not read this book. This do-not-read group also includes all the talking heads that have joined the industry of "helping Johnny to read" over the last fifty or sixty years with steadily declining results....and any other miscellaneous experts who don't bother to talk to the kids and get what they think.
