Requests:  0 Summary:  In 2014, after a brief orientation course and a few fingerprinting sessions, Nicholson Baker became an on-call substitute teacher in a Maine public school district. Nearly every morning, he awoke to the dispatcher's five-forty a.m. phone call and headed to a nearby school. When he got there, he did his best to follow lesson plans and help his students get something done. In Baker's hands, the inner life of the classroom is examined anew -- mundane worksheets, recess time-outs, surprise nosebleeds, rebellions, griefs, minor triumphs, kindergarten show-and-tell, daily lessons on everything from geology to metal tech to the Holocaust -- as he and his pupils struggle to find ways to get through the day. Baker is one of the most inventive and remarkable writers of our time, and this book, filled with humor, honesty, and empathy, may be his most impressive work of nonfiction yet.--Adapted from book jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult New Books 371.14122 Baker Ba Damaged   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 371.14122 Baker Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 371.14122 BAKER Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 371.14122 Baker Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 371.14122 Baker Ba Checked out 05/07/2024 Add Copy to MyList Lanai P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 371.14122 Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 371.14122 Baker Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 371.14122 Baker Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
