John Pearson
John Pearson was a project engineer for four years before beginning his new career as a third-grade math teacher in the Dallas Independent School District. He has gathered many of the funny stories, quotes, and situations from his first year of teaching and woven them into one flowing story. Learn Me Good will have you laughing and turning the pages, wanting to see what happens next. The book opens with a proposed college class note: "Jack Woodson (Duke Engineering, class of '95) is currently living and working in Dallas, TX. He has forty children, and all of them have different mothers." And it never looks back.
Whether you are a teacher, a parent, or just someone who enjoys funny stories, you will love Learn Me Good.

Learn Me Good
Jack Woodson was a thermal design engineer for four years until he was laid off from his job. Now, as a teacher, he faces new challenges. Conference calls have been replaced with parent conferences. Product testing has given way to standardized testing. Instead of business cards, Jack now passes out report cards. The only thing that hasn’t changed noticeably is the maturity level of the people surrounding him all day.
Learn Me Good is a hilarious first-person account, inspired by real life experiences. Through a series of emails to Fred Bommerson, his buddy who still works at Heat Pumps Unlimited, Jack chronicles a year-in-the-life of a brand new teacher. With subject lines such as “Irritable Vowel Syndrome,” “In math class, no one can hear you scream,” and “I love the smell of Lysol in the morning,” Jack writes each email with a dash of sarcasm and plenty of irreverent wit.
