Of crucial importance is the desire that the author would have written a memoir. Thanks for your review

They say to write what you know. Apparently, the author took this very seriously. However, perhaps as you say, she should have considered making it a memoir rather than a fictional story. Sounds like a good read. Thank you for your informative review.HRichards wrote: ↑12 Sep 2018, 20:50
My main complaint with the book is that it might have flowed better as an actual memoir by the author than a fictional account. It was clear that many of the stories in the book were ones the author had actually experienced to the point I thought it was a memoir for a while. The narrative seems to meander at times, as though the author is trying to throw every story she’s heard from her years in education into the plot. Because of that, sometimes I felt myself wondering why she needed to relate certain incidents when they didn’t really have any importance to the main narrative.
I enjoyed Real Principals Have No Class. Even with the wandering plot, I found myself interested in the many children Suzanne crossed paths with and the bizarre experiences she was forced to deal with. While I may have never had to deal with inebriated parents or a head lice outbreak, I sympathized with situations that were all too real. This book is enjoyable and gives the reader pause about the complex jobs teachers and administrators are faced with.

No matter how good of a job we're doing, people who love criticize others will always find faults in what we're doing.
This is a very interesting book, I'm gonna add it to my shelves.
Thank you so much for sharing your review!

This book, although the author says is fiction, does point at issues happening in schools today. It has touched on issues to do with parents, pupils, and teachers. This can help one to have the clear picture of what happens in schools even if they have not worked at the school before.
I have given it a three out of four because the author delivered what was intended to.
